Northern Nilandhe Atoll, Nilande Atoll North or Faafu is an administrative division of the Maldives.
It corresponds to the natural atoll of the same name.
Certain islands of this atoll used to be inhabited, like Himithi. The islanders were resettled in other islands so that Friday prayers could be held.
