Turtle Nest at Vakarufalhi 6-Mar-2007
On the beautiful moonlit evening of February 27, 2007 a Green Sea Turtle of around 1m chose Vakarufalhi beach as the hatching ground for her babies. She spent around 3 hours on the beach making the nest, laying the eggs and perfectly covering the nest before slowly swimming away. She has left her precious eggs in our care until they hatch cute baby turtles in around 45 days.

62 days after the eggs were laid, the baby turtles were hatched around 22:30 hrs last night. It was a beautiful full moon night and the guest and staff participated in assisting the baby turtles to crawl to the sea. They were then picked up and released into the deep sea outside the house reef. The baby turtles which survive are expected to float very far on the ocean feeding on drifting seaweed/grass, jelly fish etc. for about 2 to 5 years and return back to this area of Maldives .
