The independent authority on the Maldives reef

Every house reef, ranked the honest way.

One transparent method — reef cover, reef structure and shore access, measured from satellite — applied to every reef in the country. What a satellite cannot see, we mark pending rather than guess. Explore by atoll on the chart, or search the ranked index below.

Modelled release — all 1,037 registered properties are loaded from the official Ministry of Tourism registry. Reef Conditions are measured from open satellite data (Allen Coral Atlas, NOAA). No reef has been surveyed in the water yet, and fish and big-encounter scores are pending — we do not estimate them.
