Alimatha is an island on the mid-northern rim of Felidhu Atoll, Maldive Islands. Classified uninhabited, it is operated as a resort (Alimatha Aquatic Resort). Alimatha Island is an uninhabited island in the Eastern area of the Maldives, which operates as an aquatic resort. This is a great place to go diving with friendly sharks. And of course, there’s a wide variety of fish. If you’re not trained to go diving, there’s a school on the island where you can learn and get certified if you choose to. You can also go night diving with stingrays and nurse sharks. Else-wise, you can enjoy sunbathing on the sandy beach, or fishing where you’re guaranteed to catch some fish, especially marlins. There are also lots of water-based activities like windsurfing and canoeing. All in all, it’s a peaceful beach full of beautiful oceanic views and greenery, great resorts to stay at, and delicious food
