About Malé

The vibrant capital of the Maldives, Malé is a compact island city brimming with energy, culture, and history. Often overlooked by travelers, Malé offers a unique glimpse into everyday Maldivian life — from bustling fish markets and historic mosques to local cafés and colorful harbor scenes. It’s where tradition meets the modern rhythm of island urban life.

About Greater Malé

Greater Malé includes the capital island along with nearby urban islands such as Hulhumalé and Vilimale’, all connected by ferry or bridge. Hulhumalé, a planned urban extension, offers beachside promenades, cafes, and modern amenities, while Vilimale’ is a quieter, more laid-back local island just a short ferry ride away. Together, Greater Malé offers a balanced mix of culture, convenience, and coastal charm — making it an ideal starting point for your Maldivian journey.
