What Hoadhaa is, how it works, and what it does not promise.

Hoadhaa is a Maldivian local shopping and business-discovery service. It helps people find nearby shops and discover what they sell.

The Hoadhaa team creates initial place listings from publicly available business information, public map listings, OpenStreetMap-compatible sources, and field research. Businesses can claim their place and correct or expand the information.

Not always. 'Known to sell' means the shop is associated with that product. Current availability is shown separately when recently confirmed.

Public search is intended to be easy to access. Businesses can claim and manage basic information, while optional commercial tools and services may be offered separately.

It helps customers discover the business and what it sells. Claimed businesses can maintain their information and use additional tools as they become available.

Use the correction option or contact Hoadhaa. The team will review it, and businesses can maintain their own public information after claiming.

Hoadhaa starts with discovery. Find the business, then call, WhatsApp, or visit. If customer-request tools are introduced later, Hoadhaa will explain clearly how they work.

Yes. Hoadhaa is designed for both Dhivehi and English, including the public website and the discovery experience.

No. General maps help people navigate. Hoadhaa focuses on local shopping—helping people understand which Maldivian businesses sell what.

No. Hoadhaa does not build public shop information from your receipts, bank activity, or private messages.

No. People can report a problem or suggest a correction, but changes should be reviewed or come from an approved source or the claimed business.

No. Greater Malé is the careful starting point. Hoadhaa is being designed for local businesses and communities across every island of the Maldives, expanding area by area.
