Vaikaradhoo is one of the inhabited islands of Haa Dhaalu Atoll administrative division of the Maldives. Geographically, it is part of Thiladhunmathi in the north of the Maldives. It is a medium-sized agricultural community by Maldivian standards.
The ruins of a hawaitta (archeological mounds) known locally as the Jaadi Valhuithan stand on the western periphery of the island. The larger of the two mounds measures 55 by 75 feet. The apparent remains of a mosque created by early inhabitants of Vaikaradhoo are found on the nearby uninhabited island of Vaikaramuraidhoo. A cemetery and a well are found in close proximity to the site.
