Malé

Located in the sparkling blue waters of the Indian Ocean, Malé is the vibrant capital city of the Maldives. This island paradise is known for featuring a beguiling blend of modern development and historical sites. Although it's one of the smallest capitals in the world, Malé unfolds an eloquent history through its fascinating colonial buildings, colorful local markets, and rich Islamic culture. Key attractions include the grand 17th-century Hukuru Miskiy Mosque made from coral stone, the bustling Malé Fish Market, and the paradisiacal artificial beach. With the surrounding tranquil lagoons and vibrant coral reefs offering abundant marine life, Malé is a tropical delight for both history buffs and beach enthusiasts alike.


I felt safer in the resorts but in the local island I had to put on more conservative clothes cause people were staring alot. The uv indice is super high be careful from the sun. The country has beautiful beaches but it's very expensive
