"Famous for its nightly bioluminescent displays, this island draws visitors seeking the unforgettable sight of shorelines that glow with natural light." - Kathryn Romeyn
"This small island is celebrated for a nightly bioluminescent phenomenon on its Mudhdhoo Beach, where glowing blue waves—caused by marine organisms—turn the shoreline into a mesmerising "Sea of Stars" on still nights. With a tiny local population, the island draws curious travelers for this magical light display as well as for low-key sea sports like kayaking and canoeing and relaxed beachtime." - Vanessa Tai
"On this Maldivian island the nighttime shoreline can glow like a field of stars thanks to bioluminescent phytoplankton: dinoflagellates that emit neon-blue light when disturbed, producing an otherworldly, movie-like effect along the surf on calm, favorable nights." - Imogen Rowland
