The single-island atoll of Gnaviyani
Fuvahmulah is the only island in the Maldives that forms an atoll by itself. With its own airport, a growing diving-tourism economy, and distinctive freshwater lakes, Fuvahmulah has become a self-sustaining commercial centre in the southern Maldives — independent of Malé for everyday sourcing and increasingly able to handle its own tourism supply chain.
