Situated on Haa Aliff Atoll in the northernmost part of the Maldives, this beautiful island is blessed with the same treasures of fine white sand, and gently lapping waves against a tropical sky. However, what attracts most visitors here is not only this natural beauty, it is the historical significance of being the home island of the revered Sultan Mohamed Thakurufaanu, the patriotic leader who was responsible for driving out the Portuguese invaders from the isles in the 16th century. Visit Utheemu Ganduravu, the impressive palace of timber where the Sultan grew up as well as enjoy the lovely island of Utheemu.
