Ari Atoll trip planner

The immense Ari Atoll measures some 80 km (50 mi) north to south, and 30 km (19 mi) east to west. Of the 81 islands that form this massive oblong of coral, only 18 are inhabited, but all feature soft, fine sand of pure white and bendy palm trees swaying in the breeze. With crystal clear waters and coral reefs all around, diving and snorkeling form the mainstay of an Ari Atoll holiday, broken up by generous bouts of lazing on the beach. Here and there, ancient Hindu and Buddhist ruins dot the idyllic islands. Add Ari Atoll and other destinations in Maldives to your travel plans using our Maldives trip builder app.
