Goidhoo Atoll, dubbed Goifulhafehendhoo by its islanders and named Horsburgh Atoll by ‘overreaching’ western explorers, has held a special place in my heart for many years. Since the mid-'90s, by some stroke of luck, I’ve found myself on these shores every decade or so. In fact, when fortune smiles particularly bright, it's been as many as three times a year!
So what keeps drawing this traveller back to this stunning atoll and its three idyllic islands?
