The sea of stars on the island of Vaadhoo in Maldives



This beach sparkles and glows with electric blue at nightfall seems unreal ...

This long beach covered with billions of luminous points is called "sea of stars" because its sparkling and sparkling sea water gives the illusion of reflecting the starry sky!

What you need to know about the sea of ​​stars of Vaadhoo Island

Vaadhoo Island is part of Atol Raa, located on the equator in southwestern Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean.

Vaadhoo is known for its phytoplankton of the seas lighting up at night when the waves arrive on the beach during the "red tides". These tides are caused by the accumulation of aquatic microorganisms and therefore a high concentration of water in phytoplankton. Tiny organisms shine like fireflies whenever they are stressed or agitated, so wave movement keeps them on. Bioluminescence occurs only in warm coastal waters and is found on many nearby beaches.

How to get to the sea of ​​stars of Vaadhoo Island

Vaadhoo is one of the uninhabited islands that has been arranged for the arrival of tourists and divers from all over the world. To go to Vaadhoo, you will have to travel from your hotel by seaplane or boat. The islands of Vilamendhoo, Kuredu, Fihalhohi are also recommended

Two hotels are recommended by the Maldives tourist office to attend the magical show:

Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru
Conrad Maldives Rangali Island

When to see the sea of ​​stars?
The "fireflies" can be observed all year round. It's a bit like the aurora borealis. The phenomenon of bioluminescence is unpredictable. However, it seems that your chances are higher between August and November.
