Discover Maldives' Horsburgh Atoll
The Maldives without the resort: guesthouses and boat trips run entirely by the islanders of Horsburgh Atoll.
The Horsburgh Atoll Tourism Alliance is a USAID-supported ecotourism project run one hundred percent by locals, for locals. Booking a stay or a trip on Goidhoo, Fehendhoo or Fulhadhoo invests directly in the community and the reef it depends on.
Why you'll love this marketplace
The Maldives beyond the resort
Guesthouses on inhabited islands, where you eat local food and share the beach with a village.
Run entirely by islanders
One hundred percent locally operated, so your money stays on the atoll rather than leaving with a brand.
Reef trips from people who dive it daily
Snorkelling, fishing and island-hopping led by the fishermen who know the conditions.
