Gaafu Alifu
NH Collection Maldives Havodda
Gaafu Dhaalu
Gaafu Atoll (Huvadhoo Atoll) in the Maldives is one of the largest natural atolls in the world.
In 1962, the Maldivian government divided the vast Huvadhoo Atoll for easier administration and governance. The northern section became Gaafu Alif (GA) and the southern section became Gaafu Dhaalu (GDh). What it’s known for: • Pristine Reefs and rich marine biodiversity. It’s a top destination for diving and Snorkeling. • Uncrowded islands and authentic Maldivian culture. Fewer resorts and more traditional island life. • Unique dialect of Dhivehi spoken by locals, distinct from other atolls.
Treasure Hunt Diving Join a playful underwater quest led by our dive experts—uncover hidden surprises as you explore the wonders of our festive Reef.
22 December, Monday 15:00
Gaafu is one of the least spoiled and most naturally rich regions of the Maldives.

Asian Koel (Eudynamys scolopaceus)
The Koel bird is more often heard than seen. Its loud, rising call echoes through the coconut palms at dawn. Males are glossy black with red eyes, while females are speckled brown. Here, Koels call from the treetops, especially during nesting season. The island’s dense vegetation gives them plenty of cover.
Kids Christmas Party
• Known for their distinct two-tone call • Active during early mornings and late afternoons • Often perch high in trees or near fruiting plants
A magical afternoon for our youngest guests filled with games, music, and sweet treats—where the spirit of Christmas comes alive in every smile. 25 December, Thursday 16:00 Kids Club
If you hear a rising “koo-Ooo,” look up. A Koel is nearby, watching from the canopy.

You’ll spot them darting between rocks and Reef walls, especially in the outer house Reef. • Recognized by angular lines and bright patterns • Active during the day, solitary and territorial • Often seen cruising Reef edges and sandy bottoms

Fruit Bat (Pteropus giganteus)
Also called flying foxes, fruit bats are the Maldives’ largest land mammals. With a wingspan over 1 meter, they glide silently above the trees at dusk. At Havodda, you’ll see them circling the coconut palms or hanging upside down in tall trees during the day. The lush greenery provides the perfect feeding ground.
Chocolate Truffle Rolling & Dipping Indulge in a sweet workshop where you’ll roll, dip, and decorate your very own festive truffles—perfect for families and chocolate lovers alike.
•
Feed on ripe fruit and nectar
• Play a key role in seed dispersal and pollination • Active mostly at night or during sunset
Watch the sky around 6:30 PM. Those graceful silhouettes aren’t birds—they’re fruit bats heading out for dinner.

Oriental Garden Lizard (Calotes versicolor)
Quick and alert, this lizard shifts colors with its mood and surroundings. Males often flash bright red throats during mating season. They dart across paths and climb low tree trunks. The tropical vegetation of the island gives them plenty of space to bask and hunt.
Beach Cinema Under the Stars Enjoy a magical movie night by the ocean, surrounded by swaying palms and starlit skies. A relaxed beachfront setting perfect for couples, families, and film lovers of all ages.
• Feeds on insects and small invertebrates • Commonly seen sunbathing on rocks or branches • Can change color from brown to red or gray

Many generations ago, a great king sailed the southern seas with six dhonis, searching for a place of peace. For days, the fleet crossed endless waters under sun and stars. But one night, a fierce storm rose without warning. Waves tore through the ships. The sea swallowed some, while others drifted until dawn broke over a lonely island. The king and his men came ashore, tired but alive. Here, they found shelter. Fresh water bubbled from the ground. Fruit grew wild. Fish filled the Reefs. So they stayed. They built homes, raised children, and passed down the story of how life began on this quiet patch of land.
It is said this island was the first in the atoll to awaken.
New Year’s Gala Celebration Dinner
The name lives on. Ha in dhivehi means six. Vodda In the Huvadhu dialect comes from Odi, meaning ship. Havodda — the island of six ships.
Celebrate the arrival of a brand new year with an exquisite gala dinner, set in an enchanting ambiance with gourmet cuisine and elegant entertainment.

Powder Blue Surgeonfish (Acanthurus leucosternon)
With electric blue coloring and a bright yellow dorsal fin, the powder blue surgeonfish is one of the most photographed Reef fish in the Maldives. They’re often seen in small schools feeding on algae along shallow coral shelves. The clear waters of Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll make it easy to spot their vibrant flash as they glide by.

Highly active herbivores

Heron (Ardeidae family)
Tall, silent, and still—herons are expert fish hunters. You’ll spot them stalking the shallows with slow, careful steps.
Island Picnic Getaway Escape to a secluded island for a curated picnic with gourmet delights and chilled rosé—an unforgettable festive outing in paradise. Avilable only for a group of 4 to 8 pax
Reef herons are common along the shoreline. Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll’s quiet beaches and lagoons offer the perfect hunting ground.
• Feeds on small fish, crabs, and insects • Often seen alone at sunrise or sunset • Uses patience and precision to strike
Look along the water’s edge. If it’s standing still like a statue, it’s probably a heron, waiting for the right moment to strike.

Big Plate Starfish (Choriaster granulatus)
With thick arms and a soft pink body, the big plate starfish looks like a living cushion on the seafloor. It moves slowly, almost unnoticed, but plays a vital role in Reef health. At NH Collection Maldives Havodda, you might see one resting on sandy patches near coral blocks. Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll provides the calm, clean seabed this species prefers.
Engineering Uncovered: Behind the scenes tour Take a rare peek behind the scenes and discover how we keep the island paradise running—an insightful journey through our resort’s engineering marvels.

Blacktip Reef Shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus)
Sleek, fast, and unmistakable with black markings on the tips of its fins, the blacktip reef shark patrols the shallows like a silent guardian. You might see one gliding past the jetty or along the reef edge. In Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll, where reefs remain healthy and quiet, these sharks are a common but thrilling sight.
Snorkel Lesson
