The nation of Maldives contains an assortment of unique and serene islands that hold countless beautiful sights for any traveller that happens to reach them. Sights such as unforgettable, sun swept and un-spoilt beaches, breath-taking jungle scenery and stunning architectural masterpieces unlike any other. There is one island in particular that stands out because unlike the others that surround it, the island of Hulhumale was created by man, in a massive project that cost more than thirty million dollars. The land reclamation process in order to create the island began in 1997, with the Phase 1 of the program being completed in 2001, and the project in its entirety reaching completion by 2002.
Currently the island is a thriving community, with a school, mosque, many housing units and various commercial utilities ranging from industrial to agricultural. If you intending on embarking on an international visit to the unique island of Hulhumale, then are various choices of accommodation available to you as well, such as the Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas, a popular resort that also offers some of the best in Maldives water sports.
ne of the most noteworthy aspects of the man-made island of Hulhumale is that it is flood-resistant. Due to the rising concerns of sea-levels posing a serious threat to the islands surrounding Maldives, the island was built as a plan to provide more living space to the people of Maldives as the land-masses slowly decrease in size, and the city of Male grows more congested. The community of the man-made island now numbers in the thousands, and is expected to grow into about fifty thousand in the days to come. The people who move to Hulhumale do so because of the cleanliness of the island, as well as the safety, since the people have naught to worry of flooding or rising sea-levels.
Check out the island for yourself next time you happen to find yourself in the Maldives.
