The island is located in the northeastern tip of Addu Atoll. The geographical island to which Meedhoo and the adjoining Hulhudhoo belong to is known as Hulhumeedhoo. HistoryThe original settlers were Dhivehi people of Aryan origin. An Arab traveller named Yoosuf Naib introduced Islam to the island many years before the rest of the Maldives converted to Islam, and built the country's first mosque. The island has since been known as a centre of learning and Islamic religious education, famous for the scholars it has produced.[2] The 900 year old Kōgaṇṇu Cemetery in Meedhoo is the oldest cemetery in the Maldives. The largest tombstone in the country is also found in this cemetery. It is believed that this tombstone dates back to the 18th century and belongs to a royal of the Maldives. EducationSchools within Meedhoo include Shamsuddin School[3], Asriyya Preschool[4], Shareefee Preschool[5] and Seenu Atoll School[6]. Seenu Atoll School is the only secondary school in Hulhumeedhoo. LandmarksHulhumeedhoo, being one of the oldest populated islands in the Maldives, is also home to ancient relics and even remnants of the Second World War. Most of the ancient artifacts are found at Kogannu Cemetery, the oldest cemetery in the country, which is home to many mosques and tombs of antiquity. The island is also home to World War II era remnants like coastal defense artillery and fortifications (Dhé Badi Dheythere), built on the island's eastern coast by the British based at RAF Gan during naval warfare with the Axis powers.[7] BeachesSome notable beaches of the island include, Eedhigamool beach, Kogannu beach, Kalhibih, and Héra Burikédéthan (Ismehelaa Hera). To the south of the island is Canareef Island Resort[8], formerly Herathera[9], which was a part of southern Hulhumeedhoo that was dredged and separated to build a resort. To the north is a similar island, Ismehelaa Hera, also separated from Hulhumeedhoo to build a resort. This resort is currently under construction.[10] MedhebandharoMedhebandharo (މެދެބަނދަރޮ), also synonymously known as Fasgando (ފަސްގަނޑޮ), is the central harbour of the island. It is home to MPL Hulhumeedhoo Ferry Terminal[11] and Addu Fisheries Complex[12]. KilhiHulhumeedhoo Kilhi or Mathikilhi or simply, Kilhi (ކިޅި) is a large marshy area of around 50 hectares located in the centre of Hulhumeedhoo known for its ponds. "Kilhi" usually means either lake or mangrove in the Dhivehi language of Maldives. The ponds are known to have a few freshwater fish species found all year round. The freshwater fish species found include, Greenstripe Barb (Puntius vittatus)[13] and a species of Swamp Eel. Recently, Kilhi has become very popular and a point of interest, after the building of a pond dubbed 'Mathikilhi Eco Garden'[14]. It has since been an icon and landmark of the island. Wildfires occur in the dry, open marsh a few times every year.[15][16] The cause of ignition is usually attributed to intentional or even accidental fires, although natural ignition is also possible. In 2018, a wildfire in the Kilhi area destroyed the nearby WAMCO site, the island's waste management office.
