MADOOGALI unspoilt and "Natural Chic"
48 miles west of Male lies the magic atoll of Ari.
A uniquely untouched paradise, available to those few special people who look for nature in all her richest glory.
Beautiful Madoogali is almost entirely wrapped in lush tropical vegetation; coconut palm, Banyan trees and Bougainvillaeas colour and perfume the islands interior, whilst clear turquoise seas kiss the soft white coral sand beaches. A few meters from the waters edge is another of nature wonderlands; an underwater garden of living coral, where colour has texture, fresh from the artists palette.
And for people preferring to stay on the island, they can relax on the beautiful white sandy beaches, make a walk through the exuberant palm grove or enjoy a ping-pong match, badminton, beach-volley and bowling.

The perfection of the island's circular shape, or in the sandy softness of the beach that surrounds it, or in the aquamarine blue lagoon that holds so many rich marine secrets within its depths.

This is an island where you will continue to marvel at the beauty of nature and the gentle hand of mankind . There are fifty individual bungalows on the island and all are attractive and spacious. Attention to detail with little touches here and there adds to the "natural feel", making you feel more tranquil and at ease than ever before.
