In accordance with his pledge, President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has designated Kudadhoo Falhu and two lagoons, RF1329 and RF1330, as part of Omadhoo in South Ari Atoll.
The decision aims to facilitate development projects that will bring economic benefits to the community, including initiatives in tourism.
The change was formalised through Decree No. 26/2025, amending Presidential Decree No. 2/2025 (dated 5 February 2025), which specifies the inhabited islands of the Maldives. The amendment was made under the authority of the Decentralisation Act (Law No. 7/2010), and the revised list of inhabited islands has been published in the Government Gazette accordingly.
