Herathera Island Resort Information

Not at all like different atolls of Maldives, Addu city has a common safe haven inside the city bowl, as the atoll is area bolted with expansive islands encompassing the atoll. Unlike other atolls of Maldives, Addu city possesses a natural anchorage within the city basin, as the atoll is land-locked with large islands surrounding the atoll. This results in a natural harbour that is very calm and safe for sea vessels at all times, and is not affected by seasonal changes. There are unique features in the islands of Addu Atoll. The islands are protected from the storms and high waves of the Indian Ocean by barrier reefs. Coconut palms, the national tree, are able to grow almost everywhere on the Islands. Addu Atoll is home to some of the most colourful corals in the country, which make Addu Atoll a popular destination for diving enthusiasts. The atoll also possesses particularly rich whale and dolphin fauna. A great diversity of species has been found here. In Dhivehi, the Maldivian language, Herathera means a hideaway or sanctuary. It is here that you will find the unspoiled natural beauty which helps you to forget the hustle and bustle of your daily lives and enjoy the peace and relaxation that you seek on a holiday in the Maldives. Herathera Island Resort is in essence, the last indigenous resort in Maldives. A stroll through the island takes you back to Maldives in the early days with the simpler pleasures of life. The slow lane starts as soon as you hop on to the speedboat at Gan island. As you arrive the resort, all cares and worries are left behind. The island offer guests to feel closer to nature. There were many flora and fauna all around the island and guests can be intrigued by the wide range of wildlife as it was not something that we get to see every day in a concrete jungle.
