Perhaps many of you are still confused about the atolls and islands of the Maldives, in fact me too. So I did some research online: There are 26 atolls and around 1,190 islands in total in Maldives. Atolls of the Maldives: 

  • Ihavandhippolhu
  • Thiladhunmathi
  • Maamakunudhoo
  • Etthingili Alifushi Atoll
  • Maalhosmadulu Uthuruburi
  • Fasdhūetherē (Fasdhūtherē)
  • Maalhosmadulu Dhekunuburi
  • Goidhu Atoll
  • Faadhippolhu
  • Kaashidhu Atoll
  • Gahaafaru (Gaafaru) Atoll

[Maafushi is one of the inhabited islands of Kaafu Atoll which consists of Kaashidhoo Island,Gahaafaru Atoll, and Malé Atoll (which includes the North Malé Atoll and the South Malé Atoll). Maafushi reviews on Tripadvisor: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g2553632-Maafushi_Island-Vacations.html]

  • Male’atholhu Uthuruburi
  • Male’atholhu Dhekunuburi

  • Rasdhu Atoll
  • Ari Atoll
  • Felidhe Atoll

  • Nilandhe Atholhu Dhekunuburi
  • Kolhumadulu
  • Haddhunmathi

The islands are divided into inhabited, uninhabited and disappeared islands. As the list is long, please refer to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_islands_of_the_Maldives

The Thoddoo island that we recommended previously, on which my local business partner owns guest houses on, is an inhabited island that belongs to North Ari Atoll (Alif Alif Atoll). Thoddoo is the largest producer of watermelon in Maldives..I can almost smell the watermelon in this hot summer..hah. More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoddoo_(Alif_Alif_Atoll).
