The Mudhdhoo Beach on minuscule Mudhdhoo Island may be small, but it certainly deserves to be protected by Unesco as part of the Baa Atoll's biosphere reserve. The island's halo reef, which is home to clownfish, stingrays, and spectacular reef sharks, can be seen from its snow-covered shoreline.

There is a special type of phytoplankton and numerous rare species of algae in Mudhdhoo's coastal waters that can carry out photosynthesis. When they come across a barrier, they usually emit a glow; similarly, microbes warn one other when a predator is approaching. Couples in love who visit one of the Maldivian islands' most romantic islands will be able to diversify their trip by walking along a unique shimmering seashore.

The charming Mudhdhoo Beach is able of surprising even the most seasoned and picky travelers. The beach is stunning during the day, but its true beauty is seen only after night arrives. Millions of shellfish reside in the beach's shoal. They generate a blue flicker in the dark. They transform the beach into a night sky speckled with dispersed dazzling stars. You can keep watching this fascinating mystery till the sun comes up. Evening walks on the beach don't get much more romantic than this. The beach, which is adjacent to the premium Dusit Thani Maldives resort hotel, has become a world-renowned destination.

Long Beach on the javelin-shaped Dhigurah Island in the South Ari Atoll is as popular with residents as it is with nature-loving tourists. Take a seat at one of its picnic tables and spend the day doing nothing, or go on a tour to view the whale sharks - it's the greatest site in the Maldives to watch them.

The name of the island can be immediately translated into 'Long Island' in the native language, Dhivehi, and it has the atoll's longest beach as a result. Its surrounding seas are well-known for being a whale shark haven.

The beach's bottom is sandy and suitable for swimming and perfect for children. A route through the woods extends along the southern side of the beach. The entire journey is around 3 kilometers long. The island concludes with a large sandbank leading to the nearby island of LUX South Ari.
