OLHUVELI HULANGU FARU
★★★★★
(92)
Just five minutes by boat to the east, Olhuveli Hulangu Faru lies beside the local island of Olhuvelifsuhi. Its sandy shallows have earned it the nickname “Milky Sand Reef” and create the perfect setting for encounters with resting stingrays.
Feathertail, marble and Jenkins’ stingrays rest in the sand, while seasonal manta rays may also visit. Healthy coral blocks line the reef edge at around 12m.
