Kiran Mehta, writing for Deccan Herald, wonders about the same question that I had when visiting Dhigurah.
Here he wonders whether Ukulhas, of "The 'Other' Maldives" will remain unspoilt due to tourism.
He writes: "Ukulhas’s dhow-making unit has shut; fishing remains a source of income. But the locals are grateful that tourism is on the rise. Even as I write this, I know I’m giving away a little-known spot. Will it be as authentic if droves of tourists were to descend upon it? Only time will tell."

Ukulhas: another ‘other’ Maldives I wish to visit

Ukulhas is definitely worth a visit. I did a few years ago and loved the environment, the huge beach and island vibe. Tourism was already booming with several guesthouses being set up, and made me wonder if it'd gradually spoil the Ukulhas experience. Maybe you'll notice a difference if you visit now.
