Secretariat of the Gaafaru Council

Gaafaru, located in Kaafu Atoll, stands out as one of the more distant islands within the atoll. While relatively small in land area, the island is uniquely complemented by Burulu Falhu, a vast lagoon rich in natural resources and renowned across the Maldives. Easily accessible from Malé within approximately one hour by speedboat, Gaafaru has long been celebrated for its fishing heritage. In recent years, the island has also emerged as a rapidly developing hub in the tourism sector, offering a blend of natural beauty and vibrant local culture.
