Our island home

Where reef, lagoon and community meet.

Dharavandhoo is a small island surrounded by coral reefs, clear lagoons and rich marine life. It is Muraka Farm’s home and the place where our restoration work, community relationships and knowledge of the reef come together.

Visitors can experience the island above and below the water—from nearby sandbanks and turtle reefs to open-ocean fishing, Hanifaru Bay and everyday island culture.
