How to get around

Flights to Male land at Velana International Airport. Internal flights, specific ferries and seaplanes afford access to all of the other atolls. Trans Maldivian Airways is the largest company offering this latter service.

Places of interest

For those who decide to take a trip to the capital, the first stop not to be missed is the dried fish and fruit market, the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the exotic atmosphere of the place. Do not miss the mosque either, which bears some resemblance to the architecture of the Italian Renaissance. The national museum is also very charming, with most of the collections (containing utensils and period costumes) dedicated to the Islamic period of the island, as well as exhibits that reference the Buddhist era that preceded the country's conversion to Islam.

Best beaches

In a place totally immersed in the sea, such as Male, there's certainly no shortage of heavenly beaches. Truth be told, the city coastline is formed by two distinct and separate atolls. The North Male atoll includes over 50 islands and is perfect for those who want to practice surfing. The South Male atoll is formed by 37 islands and visitors can appreciate its characteristic coral reefs that will drive all diving enthusiasts wild with excitement.

Typical bars and restaurants

Seagull Cafè, is distinguished among the most characteristic places, a two-storey bar that offers traditional dishes at reasonable prices. The Sala Thai Restaurant isn't bad either, just like the Belle Amie Bistro which is appreciated for its offering of excellent-quality gourmet food.
