- Felidhoo Harbour & Jetty — The island’s arrival point and daily hub: ferries, local dhonis, fishermen unloading catches and a nice spot for sunsets and people-watching.
- Main Island Mosque — The spiritual and social center of the village; visiting (respectfully, outside prayer times and with modest dress) gives a clear sense of local life and community rhythms.
- Felidhoo Local Market & Street Shops — Tiny grocers and fish stalls clustered near the jetty where you can buy fresh tuna, watch sellers haggle, and grab simple snacks — great for everyday local flavor.
- Boatyard / Dhoni Workshops — Where traditional boats are repaired and maintained; seeing the craftsmen at work is a direct window into the island’s maritime culture.
- School and Sports Field — The island school and its football field

- School and Sports Field — The island school and its football field are lively places during the day; if a match or event is on, it’s a friendly, authentic slice of island life (ask before joining in).
- Community Center / Island Council Area — The administrative and event space where festivals, meetings, and community activities happen; drop by to catch local events or learn about upcoming cultural nights.
- Island Cemetery (Old Graveyard) — Simple, quiet, and revealing: the graves and family plots tell local stories and show how generations have stayed tied to the island.
- Public Beach & Coconut Grove — Not a private resort beach: this is where locals swim, dry fish, picnic and relax under palms — perfect for unhurried beach time and sunset strolls.
- Fisheries Landing / Fish Auction Area — Early mornings here are busy and raw: boats come in, fish are landed and sorted — a sensory, informative experience about the island economy.
- Guesthouse Cafés & Home-Style Eateries — Small, locally run guesthouses and tea shops serve real Maldivian breakfasts and dinners; best place to try mas huni, swap stories, and meet islanders.
