Vilufushi () is an inhabited island in Maldives.
==History== The island was very highly impacted by the 2004 tsunami, and the entire population was displaced to other islands. The government then took the opportunity to expand the area of the island with a land reclamation scheme and the population was returned to the island in 2009. With the help of foreign aid, new facilities were built, and fundamental needs provided for residents.
