Ban'didhoo (Dhivehi: ބަނޑިދޫ) is one of the inhabited islands of Dhaalu Atoll.
Like other islands, Ban'didhoo was impacted by the 2004 tsunami[2] with several casualties and massive infrastructure damage. However, the island has managed a full, albeit slow, recovery.
The island is 148.650NaN0 south of the country's capital, Malé.[3]
The commerce of the island is centered around their famous fleet of fishing boats (approx: 25). Although typically a fishing community, inhabitants have started working construction and resort jobs.
Ban'didhoo has a hospital (Ban'didhoo Health Centre) and a school (Ban'didhoo School) teaching from preschool to grade 10. Ban'didhoo also has a guest house (iruveli inn) and a police station near the harbor. Ban'didhoo also has electricity 24/7 provided by Fenaka.co.
Ban'didhoo also has a harbour to enable faster loading and unloading for boats. The harbour development was begun on 10 March 2014.[4] The expanded harbour was reopened by President Abdulla Yameen on 4 May 2016.[5]
