Haddhunmathi Atoll or Laamu Atoll is an administrative devision of the Maldives. It corresponds to the natural atoll of the same name. The administrative capital is located on the island of Fonadhoo.
It is mostly rimmed by barrier reefs, the broadest of which are topped by islands. There are many islands along its eastern and southern boundaries.
This atoll is quite regular excepting for the projection of the reef at its NE corner (Isdhū Muli). It closely resembles Kolhumadulhu, its neighbour further north. Owing to its typical atoll shape, it differs in no respect from atolls in the Pacific Ocean, save for its greater size.
Its reefs are generally of little breadth, with no signs of vilu (deep pools), except for its eastern fringes which are covered with islands that are quite large by Maldive standards. The lagoon is comparatively open, containing scattered shoal patches; the bottom is muddy and the average depth is from 30 to 34 fathoms.
Laamu Atoll forms the southern limit of Central Maldives. Beyond the Huvadhu Kandu, the broadest channel between atolls in the Maldives, lie the southern atolls.
Traditionally, Maldivians call this atoll simply 'Haddhunmathi', without adding the word 'Atholhu' at the end.
Kadhdhoo Domestic Airport is also located on Kadhoo.
This is one of the greenest islands in the Maldives and also the longest ones. We have bikes available to explore the island. Furthermore we offer excursions to a local tune factory and have a deserted island available if you want to know how it is to feel like a real Robinson. We can drop you off and pick you up according to your wishes.
Because of the length of the island we have miles of deserted beach at 3 minutes walking from the appartement.
Also BBQs can be arranged as we have access to fresh fruit from the sea such as Dorado, Swordfish, Tuna, Snapper, Wahoo, Barracuda, etc.
