| Athuruga Island on Ari Atoll, Maldives Athuruga (also Athurugau) is an island resort in the Ari atoll of the Maldives. It is very small (130 by 110 metres), and very charming. Use the Thumbnail gallery below to get am impression. The pictures are sized so that they fit exactly on a 1024x768 screen. I don't think that there are smaller displays around these days. |
