Fuvahmulah City, one of the Maldives’ most spectacular southern atolls, has just made a jaw-dropping debut on Netflix! Dubbed the 'Shark Island', this hidden gem takes center stage in All the Sharks, a thrilling new Netflix original series that launched on Friday, July 4, 2025.
According to Netflix’s media center, All the Sharks is a high-stakes competition series where four teams of passionate shark experts go fin-to-fin in a race to find and photograph the most sharks. With a USD50,000 prize on the line for their chosen marine charity, the teams plunge into the world's most iconic shark habitats—battling time, nature, and each other in six action-packed episodes.
The spotlight is already shining bright on the Maldives, as the series kicks off with an adrenaline-filled premiere titled Eye of the Tiger Shark. This pilot episode dives deep into the waters of Fuvahmulah City, showcasing its stunning underwater scenery and earning global recognition for what locals and divers have long known—it’s one of the best places in the Maldives to encounter tiger sharks.
Fuvahmulah City Mayor, Ismail Rafeeq, celebrated the feature in a heartfelt Facebook post:
This is a huge opportunity to put Fuvahmulah on the global map, attracting divers, adventurers, and nature lovers from around the world. A special thank you to Ahmed Inah for his dedication and hard work in this. Heartfelt thanks and appreciation also goes to our dive centers, guesthouses, and other tourism industry stakeholders in Fuvahmulah who are consistently working to promote our island. Your contributions have shaped Fuvahmulah into a world-class dive destination.
While Fuvahmulah has long been a favorite among nature lovers for its unique ecosystem and raw natural beauty, it’s the island’s now-famous Shark Point that has truly turned heads in recent years. Known for its thrilling tiger shark encounters, Shark Point has become a must-visit bucket-list destination for adventurers from around the globe.
Now with Netflix shining an international spotlight on this one-of-a-kind dive destination, Fuvahmulah City is poised to become a global icon for eco-tourism and marine adventure.
