Location
Kanuhura is located on one of the islands in the northeast part of Lhaviyani Atoll, Maldives in the Indian Ocean. The resort is approximately 40 minutes by seaplane from the Hulhule Airport . The island measures approximately 1,000 metres long and 200 metres wide, with a north-south orientation.
Very little has changed since ancient mariners first sailed these seas. Just one-sixth of the country’s 1,200 islands are inhabited, mainly with peaceful fishing villages nestled among the palms. The Maldives today remains a necklace of soft sand atolls laid out on the shimmering azure waters of the Indian Ocean.
