About Ari Atoll
Ari Atoll's turquoise lagoons and thatch-roofed water bungalows define tropical overwater paradise—whale sharks (the world's largest fish) aggregate here June-November creating unforgettable encounters. Coral gardens explode with colour; manta rays glide silently below the surface. The atoll contains 75 islands and 40 resorts.
