Fuvahmulah Cozy Nest

Welcome to Fuvahmulah in the Maldives and Cozy Nest guesthouse. The name Fuvahmulah means “Island of Areca Nut Palms”.

This island is located approximately 500 km south of the country's capital Malé. You get here by plane and the island has an underwater reef that stretches for about 3 km. The island is the third largest in Maldiverna. In the past, Fuvahmulah was a small coral atoll whose southern end was open and where the interior of the island was a saltwater lagoon that then formed a natural harbor.

The channel connecting the lagoon to the sea was later closed off with coral blocks. Therefore, the inside of the island is slightly lower than the edges on the outside. Over time, the salinity of the inner lagoon dropped and all that remains today are two small lakes as natural wetlands.

Being an atoll with only one island and the third largest island in the Maldives, Fuvahmulah has a diverse range of habitats. They range from tropical forests and wetlands to freshwater lakes, well-vegetated marshlands, white sand beaches in various variations and with different rock textures. Also gravel beaches and fertile humus lands, which are larger in surface area than any other island in the Maldives.

Freshwater lakes, mangoes and oranges

These two freshwater lakes and the marshland on the island are today a habitat for various plant and animal species found nowhere else in the Maldives.

For example, there are lots of mango trees on the island and every year hundreds of thousands of mangoes are produced. Fuvahmulah also produces pineapples and oranges. Something that is not found anywhere else in the country.

Fuvahmulah in the Maldives is good for seeing Tiger Sharks and other shark species. Species that can be seen include hammerhead sharks, thresher sharks, reef sharks, razorback sharks, ray sharks and more.
