Dhiddhoo

Dhidhdhoo () is the capital of Haa Alif Atoll in the Maldives. Ranked the 2nd most populated island in the north of Maldives after Kulhudhuffushi City. Located in the center of the atoll, Dhidhdhoo is governed by Dhidhdhoo Island Council under the Local Government Authority. This island is famous for having the least crime rates amongst the 10 most populated islands in the nation consecutively for a number of years.

== Development == In November 2022, the Ministry of Housing, Land and Urban Development launched a project to address Dhidhdhoo's housing crisis by constructing 75 row houses, each covering 700 square feet. Each unit is designed with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a dining area, a laundry room, and a storage room. Although initially scheduled for completion by the end of 2023, the project faced delays due to funding issues. Currently, 73% of the work has been completed, and it is anticipated that the units will be ready for handover by February 2025. The project, contracted to SJ Construction Private Limited for a cost of USD 7.7 million, is part of a broader government initiative to support Dhidhdhoo’s growing population needs. The Dhidhdhoo Island Council is actively involved in selecting applicants for the new housing units.
