Home to one of the oldest mosques in the Maldives. A deeply traditional base in South Ari for those wanting to meet whale sharks.
Fenfushi is a fascinating island rich in history, located in the southern part of the Ari Atoll. It is famous nationwide for hosting the ancient Fenfushi Friday Mosque, a 17th-century architectural masterpiece built entirely of hand-carved coral stone blocks.
Beyond its cultural value, Fenfushi enjoys an enviable location: it is situated just a short distance from the waters populated by whale sharks, offering incredible excursions without the typical crowding of other nearby islands.
The white sandy streets, the hammocks (joali) hanging outside the houses, and the delightful hospitality of the locals make this island a wonderful dive into the past of the Maldives, enhanced by quiet beaches where you can recharge your energy.
