Why to visit Vaadhoo Island
This magnificent island may only have 500 residents, but the natural phenomena that occurs here, known as the Sea of Stars, attracts visitors from all over the world and takes them right to the shores of Vaadhoo, where they are treated to one of the most remarkable spectacles.
The mesmerising waters of Vaadhoo Island are known as the Sea of Stars phenomena when they flash a vivid blue under the moonlight. The sea is believed to sparkle and light in such a way that it reflects the stars that the waves wash against. This phenomena arises as a result of numerous phytoplankton that can be found in the sea and glow at night. The light emitted in the sea is almost mesmerising, despite the fact that this phenomena is more of a self-preservation gesture for the fish.
