Angolhitheemu (Dhivehi: އަނގޮޅިތީމު) is one of the islands in Raa Atoll with population of 500 people.
==History== Angolhitheem is conceded as on one of the islands in which the early settlers of Maldives lived. History tells us that Koimala, a prince from presumably South India who sailed to the Maldives with his Sinhalese wife alongside ships of slaves and treasure. He initially made his first stop at Maalhosmadulu Uthuruburi [Raa Atoll], in the island Rasgatheemu, with his slaves settled in Angolhitheemu island. The names of the islands were also dubbed by the king as Rasgatheemu – King's Island and Angolhitheemu-Slaves Island respectively. However, Koimala wished to move down-south to the Central Maldives sailing and reaching a sandbank with Fisherman on the Central East of Maldives.
