The opportunity has been opened for bidders interested in building a resort in Kandevarehaa, an island under the jurisdiction of Gaaf Dhaal Hoadedhdhoo council.
Hoadedhdhoo council today announced plans to build an integrated tourist resort on Kandevarehaa.
Interested groups can purchase the bid book and obtain additional information from March 31 to April 30.

There are several islands in the same lagoon as Hoadedhdhoo. Kandevarehaa is the nearest to Hoadedhdhoo with about 750 meters between the two islands.
In 2021, the Ministry of Tourism opened the opportunity to develop a resort on the island. USD 700,000 was set as the acquisition cost at the time.
Later in 2022, Hoadedhdhoo council began efforts to develop a resort on the island. Meetings were held with the ministry, guesthouse businesses and tourism industry businesses.
