Maamigili (Dhivehi: މާމިގިލި) is the largest and most populous of the islands of Alif Dhaal Atoll which border the South Ari Marine Protected Area.

[2] Unlike all the other islands in this chain, it is naturally round in shape, owing to its position on one of the edge of one of the widest channels in the MPA.

A deep water access harbour leads toward the enormous main street, which runs east to west straight through the heart of the island.

Toward the western end of the street is a small mosque, the medical centre, the huge and very impressive school and the island council offices.

This was done to construct the first airport in Ari atoll, with a plan to link into the network of larger capacity terrestrial landing planes, which are capable of reaching all parts of the country.
