Noomaa Kuda Atholhu - Maldives
Nestled in the heart of the Indian Ocean, just North of the equator, lies a stunning atoll. It's a hidden pearl in the central region of the Maldives Archipelago, surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise waters and fringed with powdery white sand beaches. This idyllic place is a true haven of natural beauty and serenity. The Maldivian Inner Sea washes its eastern shores, while the open ocean embraces it from the West. These waters are home to some of the ocean's most magnificent creatures, including powerful Swordfish, fast Sailfish, mighty Black Marlin, and swift Wahoo, with some specimens reaching impressive weights of up to 1322lb (600 kg). Alongside them, a rich variety of bottom-dwelling fish hide in the deep crevices and valleys of the reefs, such as Sickle Pomfret, Snappers, and Giant Grouper. Renowned for its unparalleled beauty and world-class fishing opportunities, this atoll has earned its reputation as one of the most luxurious and favored destinations for anglers worldwide.

Starting points
Maahuraa Lagoon
Maahuraa Lagoon, meaning "majestic island" in the local language, is a luxury fishing and touristic destination, surrounded by swaying palms and crystal-clear waters. Beyond premier-class relaxation in overwater bungalows, this spot draws anglers with its diverse marine life. A spacious wooden pier serves as the main gateway to the open ocean, where you can board your own yacht or rent one for an exciting deep-water fishing. Hop on your boat and head out through one of the many lagoon channels. The deep-sea trophies are waiting for you!
Kuda Veli
Kuda Veli is home to a small fishing settlement nestled a few kilometers southeast of the main atoll. The locals here have a strong connection to the ocean and stick to their fishing craft, passing it down through generations. While most fishermen head for the open ocean, the lagoon at the center of the atoll is still worth a cast. Some locals even whisper about a highly desired bottom-dweller hiding in its depths.
