Fisherman’s Island

The picture perfect spotless beaches and luxurious facilities of the Maldives resorts without a doubt provide a great location to spend your vacation time. But for the visitor who desires to obtain an authentic insight into the lifestyle of the local Maldivian villagers a visit to a fishermen’s island will prove delightful.

Organized tours will take the traveller to one of the typical serene Maldivian fishing villages.

The bounties of the seas have traditionally been the source of the Maldivians’ livelihood, and even today fishing is the occupation of a large proportion of the local population. The close-knit fishing communities present a unique way of life seen nowhere else in the world.

The visitor may take the opportunity to stroll through the lanes of the village, observing children playing.
