Holhudhoo () is one of the inhabited islands of Noonu Atoll. The island is second most populous island in the atoll with 2222. Holhudhoo is also known as 'Bis Holhudhoo'.
==History== The island's current population has been pretty recent, with estimated immigration of nearby islanders from 17th to 19th century. But a cemetery was discovered in the middle of the island, which proves that an older population has been living or has lived and abandoned the island before the current inhabitants. Holhudhoo was also the historical capital of Noonu Atoll before being changed due to lack of land.
