The home Alafehi Retreat is built on Maadhandige (translated as the home of vast fields), on Narugis magu, a quiet and airy lane in the middle of the island, leading on to the eastern beach of the island.
Alafehi is Dhivehi for “taro-green”. Taro (ala) is the traditional staple food of the island, eaten with different varieties of coconut produce and fish. Ala is grown everywhere, in every inch of muddy fertile soil found in the island - around the freshwater kilhi and in the backyards of houses. The lives of the taro fields (ala olhu) of Fuvahmulah are symbiotically intertwined with the wellbeing of its people and their subsistent ways of life.
