Walk with me in Dhangethi. One of the inhabited islands of Alif Dhaal Atoll. The island is 87.85 km southwest of the country's capital, Malé. Dhangethi is the third largest populated island of Alif Dhaal Atoll.
Famous for its long widely stretched lagoon and all year all around whale shark and Manta sightings. Dhangethi island is located in the Dive Heart zone of Maldives.
Dhangethi itself, is very quiet and beautiful, and the people are very friendly. The village is so quiet and nice and you will need a short time to explore the whole island.
Measured one kilometer long and 350 meters wide, Dhangethi's population is 1200 souls, but only less than 500 people live in the island. Most of the residents have moved to Capital city of Maldives for education and better job opportunities.
Tourism and fishing are the main sources of income on the island. Dhangethi Island is near to the Maldives famous Whale shark point which is one of the main reasons to visit in Dhangethi. Tourist are attracted to Dhangethi due to an authentic beach experience, nearby luxury resorts and snorkeling and diving spots around the Island.
