The sea of stars on Vaadhoo
An evening
On dark, moonless nights
On some nights bioluminescent plankton light up along the shore of Vaadhoo in Raa Atoll whenever the water moves, so the waves look studded with blue stars. It is a natural event that cannot be predicted precisely; it shows best on dark, moonless nights and can appear on other islands' beaches too. We arrange a visit from the Raa Atoll resorts when conditions allow.
Good to know
- The glow is never guaranteed
- Best seen away from lights
