The reef at Maduvvari’s island — shared by 2 properties here. Every guesthouse on this island snorkels the same reef, so we score the island, not the doorstep.
This is Reef Conditions — what a satellite can measure. The full Maldives Index, which adds fish life and big-animal encounters confirmed in the water, has not been awarded to any property yet.
What this is, and isn’t. Measured from the Allen Coral Atlas benthic and geomorphic maps (CC BY 4.0) and NOAA Coral Reef Watch heat-stress records (public domain). Its benthic class is “Coral/Algae” combined — a satellite cannot tell live coral from algae — so this is modelled reef cover, not verified coral health, and never a substitute for being in the water. Imagery vintage 2018-2021; heat stress since then is applied as a penalty.
2species have published seasonality for this atoll — Reef manta ray, Reef manta ray. Timing is monsoon-driven and cited.
Against the rest of the country.
The national median across 297 measured reefs is 6.
Marine life
Maduvvari · Raa Atoll · a shared island reef
Reef manta ray — southwest Raa
Around Maamunagau and Fenfushi, feeding runs December to April, in the northeast monsoon, with young-of-year present in the same window. The record here is substantial: several thousand sightings of more than 400 identified individuals.
Reef manta ray — eastern Raa
Vandhoo and Kottefaru flip to the southwest monsoon: feeding around September to November, courtship from July. This eastern side holds roughly 72% of the atoll’s pregnant-female sightings.
Turtles — no atoll-level seasonal study exists; treat them as year-round residents rather than a season
Reef sharks — no atoll-level seasonal data

The Reef Code
Non-negotiable. These reefs take decades to grow and seconds to damage — the same rules apply on every reef in the index.
