Northern Ari Atoll or Alifu Alifu is an administrative division of the Maldives. It is formed by the northern section of Ari Atoll, the small natural atoll of Rasdhoo or Rasdu Atoll, and the island of Thoddoo or Toddu.

The separation of Ari Atoll (formerly Alifu Atoll) into a Northern and a Southern section has formed the two most recent administrative divisions of the Maldives, namely Alifu Alifu Atoll and Alifu Dhaalu Atoll.


The island of Maalhos is geographically the westernmost island of the Maldives.
