Uligamu, Maldives Cruises

Uligamu, Maldives Cruise Port

In the Maldives, Uligamu (or Uligan) is an inhabited island within the northernmost 19 administrative divisions, which in this country are known as Atolls. This particular one is called the Haa Alif Atoll and is the third largest in area and population. The Atoll as a whole consists of 43 islands, only 14 of which are inhabited. Those 14 are named constituencies with their own island councils which all govern together and periodically meet on the island of Dhidhdhoo, the Haa Alif Atoll’s capital. Uligamu is one of the first islands in the Maldives to use a combination of renewable energies. These methods include solar panels on a micro grid, and large wind turbines. The roughly 300 inhabitants also play their part in keeping the island self-efficient and unpolluted. Because of its ideal location between Thailand and the Red Sea, it acts as a perfect exotic call for cruise ships.
