'''Ari''' (also ''Alif'', ''Alifu'') is an atoll in the Maldives. It is divided into two parts, '''North Ari''' (''Alif Alif'') and '''South Ari''' (''Alif Dhaal'').
Understand
Ari is the original Dhivehi name of the atoll, while Alif Alif and Alif Dhaal are administrative codenames for the northern and southern parts of it.
Get in
Resorts in the Ari atolls are typically reached by seaplane from Male, which takes 20-30 minutes. Speedboat transfers are available at some resorts, but take at least several hours.
