About

Maakoa is a quiet spot on Milandhoo where people come to walk, relax and enjoy the views and the sea breeze — a nice place to slow down and unwind. It's right beside Sikundi Kulhi, the island's "Prawn Lake", so you can pair a walk here with a look at the lake and its wildlife, or a kayak ride.
