Raa Atoll is a pristine paradise with only a handful of resorts. Ugoofaru, the capital island, is home to the largest fishing fleets in the Maldives while Alifushi island is where one can find the best traditional dhoni builders in the archipelago. There’s also Hani Kandu, the channel between Raa and Baa Atolls, which offers great diving spots on both sides and where magnificent manta rays are an everyday sight in October and November.
