Atol Huvadhu Utara atau Gaafu Alifu adalah salah satu wilayah di Maladewa. Dibentuk pada 8 Februari 1962 saat Atol Huvadhu dibagi menjadi dua. Gaafu Alifu termasuk pada bagian timur laut atol alami Huvadhu. Terletak di antara kanal Footukandu dan Vaarulu Kandu. Ibu kota terletak di Vilingili.

Jejak sejarah

[sunting | sunting sumber]

Beberapa raja Maladewa pada zaman dahulu ditengarai memiliki leluhur dari salah satu pulau di atol ini yakni Pulau Devvadu, yang terletak di tengah-tengah laguna yang besar. Di sana banyak terdapat sisa-sisa kebudayaan Buddha, yang berupa reruntuhan stupa di beberapa bukit kecil. Belum ada usaha penyelidikan untuk mngetahui asal-usul stupa ini.

Pada January 1959, tiga atol yang terletak di bagian selatan: Huvadhu, Fuvahmulah dan Addu, bersatu membentuk Republik Suvadive Bersatu yang bertahan hingga September 1963. Nama negara tersebut diambil dari nama kuno Atol Huvadhu, "Suvadiva".
