The Maldives - Male, The Capital of The Maldives


Male, the capital of the Maldives, has a population of 150,000. It is in Male where all the banks, key institutions, larger companies, and government departments reside. The city is made up of five districts. Four are on the island of Male' and the fifth is on an island to the west of Male' called Vilingili.

There are many interesting places to visit in the Maldives resorts. The main hub of trade and activity of Male' lies at the northern waterfront of Male'. The area is full of shops selling various goods. Here, you can find the Male' Fish Market as well as the Local Market which sells local produce.

For divers interested in organised diving tours, there are diving cruises, which pick up tourists at the airport in Male. The Rainbow runner special dive tour has three dives daily and offers full board with three meals. The MV Happy Days Liveaboard is a seven-night full board cruise with six days of unlimited diving. The Cruise Diamond is a two-week cruise, which starts at the Karumba house reef and ends at the Addu Lagoon.
