About

Ranfas Beach is a calm stretch of shore near Kanbarani Hingun with a clear shoreline, a popular spot to sit by the ocean, take in the view and unwind. Ranvilu Park, the island's largest park, is right next to it, so it's an easy place to spend an evening with family — a walk in the park, then the beach.

Good to know

  • Milandhoo is a local island: swim in shorts and a T-shirt, and keep bikinis for resorts or a marked bikini beach.

  • There’s little shade at midday, so bring water, a hat and reef-safe sunscreen.

  • Watch for coral and sea urchins in the shallows; reef shoes help.

  • Dress modestly around the island, with shoulders and knees covered.

  • Alcohol isn’t allowed on local islands.

  • Things slow down at prayer times, especially around Friday midday prayers.
