Varovaa Thundi
★★★★☆
(430)
Varova Thundi is one of the most unique natural beaches in the Maldives. It’s located on the island of Fuvahmulah and stands out because it’s made of smooth white pebbles rather than soft sand.
The shoreline is covered in polished coral pebbles, giving it a bright, almost snowy appearance.Strong waves from the open ocean crash here, making it dramatic and scenic.
