Rated : 5.0

We booked this city tour for us and it was absolutely mesmerizing, it being the city, with the vibrant street life or the handicrafts it present. As we were a group of friends travelling, it was complete fun enjoying our excursion specially being carefree as we had our pickup and drop arranged too. And as it was a waking tour we could also spend time on shops and stalls we were interested in.

Things to do in Malé City

Malé – the capital city of The Maldives has the distinction of being the world’s smallest capital. Spread across 6.8 square kilometres, this tiny island is also one of the most densely populated places on the planet. Size is not a stopper for this city though. For travellers, there are plenty of things to do in Malé city . Here’s a roundup of some popular activities and also a few offbeat experiences on the isle.

#1 Explore Rasrani Bageecha

Previously known as Sultan Park, Rasrani Bageecha is a public garden in Malé with a whopping 18,000 trees in its premises. While the park is free for the local Maldivians, foreigners and expats must pay an entry fee of USD 5 per person.

It is possible to visit Rasrani Bageecha as part of one of Maldives’ full day tours . However, if you would like to spend more time exploring the park’s attractions, you can pop in by yourself. There are plenty of things inside to hold your interest such as an elevated wooden deck to get a panoramic view of the garden, a glass treehouse, a mariyaadhuge (traditional Maldivian pavilion which acts as a casual meeting place).

Rasrani Bageecha is suitable for all ages – from kids to senior citizens. There are sufficient benches for the aged, hammocks for the youngsters and play corners for the children. If you are wondering what to do in Maldives with family , look no further! Head to this park which also boasts of a green tunnel, a multi-storey fountain and a vertical garden.

#2 Opt Day Tours in & around Malé

#3 Visit the Local Fish Market

Visit the Local Fish Market in Malé (courtesy: alexanderbrown)

Whether you are a fish-eater or not, Malé Fish Market will entertain you with its strong smells, vibrant sights and indistinguishable sounds. This busy open marketplace is where the local fishermen bring their fresh catch of the day. The catch, which is mostly tuna, is laid out on the tiled floor and then sorted, cleaned and cut.

Visitors can watch the chaos and listen to the cacophony that ensues. Fish lovers can also buy fishes other than tuna, such as sailfish, reef fish, wahoo, and even other seafood. While Malé Fish Market is smelly, it is quite hygienic. Different species of fish are displayed on tiled tables with separators, with the fisherman or the seller available to negotiate the sale price.

#4 Admire Hukuru Miskiiy

Admire Hukuru Miskiiy / Old Friday Mosque in Malé Maldives

Best identified as the Old Friday Mosque, Hukuru Miskiiy was built in 1658. This Islamic shrine flaunts traditional Maldivian architecture, with a minaret that closely resembles the one at the entrance of Mecca. If you are interested in getting a glimpse into Maldives’ history and culture , a tour of Hukuru Miskiiy is highly recommended.

Often called the Malé Friday Mosque, this structure is mainly built of coral. One can observe specimens of woodcarving inside this mosque which contain Quranic inscriptions. Hukuru Miskiiy is incidentally the oldest mosque in The Maldives, and can accommodate a maximum of 10,700 (standing) Muslim worshippers for the Friday prayer held every week.

#5 Discover the Secrets Preserved in the National Museum

Discover the Secrets Preserved in the National Museum, Malé

One of the most interesting activities to do in Maldives for history lovers is a stroll through the National Museum. Sitting inside the Sultan Park, this museum has been in existence since 1952. Spanning three storeys, the old building of this museum happens to be a part of the now demolished Maldivian Royal Palace complex.

The museum collection includes arms and armoury, thrones, ornaments, royal furniture, coins and costumes. One should not miss the Quran engravings on the walls which are handwritten. The museum is open on all the days of the week except Fridays. Entry is between 10 AM and 4 PM.

#6 Take a Culinary Tour

Maldivian Food Tour with Local Market Visit

Maldives vacation packages that offer culinary tours show one of the best ways to relish the country – through its cuisine. This Asian archipelago is notable for its spicy curries and fragrant seafood preparations. Food tours can either be at local establishments or in the home of a Maldivian family.

The most valuable Maldives half day tours include a visit to a Maldivian local’s place in Malé and interaction over lunch or dinner. Savour the strong taste of Asian condiments and the distinct flavour of coconut that is used for garnish or in curries or dry preparations.

During the month of Ramadan, some culinary tours also give you a chance to see how a Muslim family breaks their fast, goes through the prayer routine and digs into a heavy meal of spiced rice ( biryani ), mutton and dessert (usually bis haluvaa – sliced custard).

#7 Shop for Souvenirs Along Majeedhee Magu

Shop local souvenir and handicrafts on your Full Day Maldives Adventure Trip

Everyone knows that the most pocket-friendly shopping is done at street markets! Bring out the shopaholic in you at Majeedhee Magu – a shopping street that slices Malé City into two. Not many Maldives day tours offer a sight of this lane, but a couple of hours of window shopping are only what you need to get your fill of endorphins.

Majeedhee Magu should be visited for its colourful textiles, assorted fashion accessories such as bangles, necklaces and bracelets, cosmetic products and even electronics. The local Maldivian attire of libaas (a long dress with the traditional headgear) can also be bought here.

#8 Stop by the Grand Friday Mosque

Almost all Maldives walking tours halt at the Grand Friday Mosque. Located inside the Islamic Centre in Malé, this mosque is officially called as Masjid Al-Sultan Muhammad Thakurufaanu Al-Arzam, honouring a Maldivian hero. The Grand Friday Mosque is the largest one in The Maldives, and is prominent through its simplicity. Built of white marble, the plainness of the structure digresses only in its dome and top of the minaret which are gold in colour.

Tourists can enter the mosque only between 9 AM and 5 PM when prayers are not in progress. Dressing must be modest and conservative, which means full-length trousers for men and long skirts or dresses for women. Ornate chandeliers and carved wood panels decorate the interiors of this Islamic shrine that has a capacity to seat 5,000 worshippers.

#9 Cross the Sinamalé Bridge

Often referred to as the China-Maldives Friendship Bridge, the Sinamalé Bridge is a 1.39 kilometre long bridge that connects Malé City to Hulhumalé and Hulhulé – the adjacent islands that form the larger Malé Metropolitan Area.

Open since 2018, this bridge is 20.3 metres wide and has dedicated lanes for pedestrians, apart from lanes for cars and motorbikes. A walk across this bridge is a great way to get some workout packed into your vacation. Be sure to stop at various points of the bridge to take pictures of the shimmering Indian Ocean and the cityscape of the islands! A stroll after sunset is even better as the Sinamalé Bridge is lit up, making it appear as a jewel in the ocean.

#10 Relax at the Artificial Beach

If you thought beaches could only be natural, think again! The Artificial Beach in Malé City is a manmade crescent-shaped seashore filled with white sand. The water in this part of the city is quite safe for swimming, so bring on your swimming goggles and bathing suit. Be sure to be conservatively clothed, as it is a public beach on a local island where bikinis and shirtless wandering are prohibited.

Apart from chilling at the Artificial Beach, one can also indulge in some photography as this spot has beautiful views of the Maldivian horizon. Maldives’ weather proved to be quite pleasant throughout the year, making the beach a popular zone for locals.

#11 Go on a Walking Tour

As far as Maldives walking tours are concerned, a full day Malé City walking tour is a fantastic use of your time. Most walks include a couple of stops at local cafés for snacks and tea, and even a beachside restaurant for traditional lunch.

Most of the famous sightseeing spots are covered in the walking tours. Visit the harbour area and understand its history and importance, tour the prominent mosques, see the Tsunami Monument, and watch the Mulee Aage, which is the Presidential Palace – a striking building with bright red roof, housing the current President of The Maldives.

The walking route generally also includes a sight of Medhu Ziyaaraiy – the tomb of Abdul Barakat Yoosuf Al Barbary, the man who converted the island nation of The Maldives into Islam. Another tomb, of Mohammed Thakurufaanu, is notable as that of the hero who freed Maldivians from Portuguese rule.

#12 Sample Traditional Delicacies at Local Cafés

Sample Traditional Delicacies at Local Cafés in Malé

Sometimes included as part of the half day Malé City walking tour , trips to local cafés are interesting additions to your Maldives itinerary. One is not only able to taste Maldivian food here but also observe the locals unwind and interact as they speak Dhivehi – local language of The Maldives .

Sip on some freshly brewed black tea which is the traditional beverage that is often taken before sunset. The accompanying platter of hedika goes very well with the tea. Hedika is a type of teatime snack that is deep-fried and served hot. The stuffing underneath the batter is often savoury, but can also be sweet (banana fritters, for instance).

#13 Sign up for Water Sports Activities

Unlike at the private resort islands in the Maldives, water sports in Malé City are much more affordable. Private islands tend to charge more for their premium branding and luxurious frills thrown in. Malé lets you enjoy the thrill of zipping away on your jetski, watching the myriad types of corals on a scuba diving or snorkelling trip , and enjoying some dolphin sighting during sunset at much lower rates.

It is quite possible for cheaper quotations to be available at remote local village islands in The Maldives , but the cost of getting there outweighs any benefits unless you plan to stay there for a few days.

#14 Learn to Cook Maldivian Fare

Foodies must not forget a cooking class when looking to book activities in Maldives . Some bespoke tour providers such as Samudra Maldives offer unique experiences like learning the art of cooking a full Maldivian meal. These tours can last from anywhere between a couple of hours to over four hours, especially if your program also includes a visit to the local vegetable and fruit market in Malé to buy the ingredients of the dishes you will be preparing.

If you have never cooked before, you can simply watch the Maldivian ladies in the kitchen make all the preps. You might be given tasks such as grating coconut, rolling the roshi (flatbread) or mixing the spices into the tuna curry. You can also learn how to shape the sweets which often form part of the dessert in an elaborate Maldivian meal.

#15 Experience the Undersea World in a Submarine

A top choice in the list of what to do in Maldives for non-swimmers , submarine ride is an exciting activity both for children and adults. Maldives’ marine biodiversity cannot be overstated. From different types of hard and soft corals to reef fishes, sharks , undersea plants, rays, shoals, and other creatures, the country has a dazzling new world down there!

The 45-minute submarine ride takes you down to the seabed, at almost 40 metres below the sea level and also halts at another depth of 25 metres to offer a view of diverse life forms at different levels of depth. Explore a submerged reef, get inside an underwater cave and look at turtles, schools of snappers, lion-fish and more.

There are many more things to do in Malé City if you are on a holiday that is slated to last longer. From getting a certification that lets your dive without an instructor to one that allows you to teach others, dive centers and diving schools in Malé can turn you into a professional.

Arriving into The Maldives is possible by air and sea. Flights to the country generally land at the Velana International Airport in Hulhulé. If you are stopping by Malé City on a cruise, the capital has ample docking stations. For those who further plan to visit a private island or a different local isle, speedboats, ferries, internal flights and seaplanes are available.

Male City Travel Guide: What to Do, Where to Stay, and More in the Maldives Capital

If you’re planning a trip to the Maldives, chances are you’ll have a day (or at least a few hours) in Male City. Instead of jumping on a speedboat to your resort, take some time to check out the Maldivian capital – there’s so much cool stuff to do in Male!

Not sure what to do in Male? Is there a ferry from Male to Maafushi? What are the cheapest hotels in Male? I have all the information here – keep reading and you’ll find out how to get to Male Island, what to do, where to eat, and where to stay. Let’s go!

🇲🇻 MALE CITY GUIDE 🇲🇻

Perfect for … A starting base to your Maldives trip – a peek into local life – delicious food – Maldivian culture

Did you know Male is one of the most densely-populated cities in the world? Instead of scaring you off, this is actually an opportunity to explore all that Male has to offer: there are dozens of amazing restaurants, museums, and interesting attractions. Male is also the perfect introduction into the life of a typical Maldivian and their culture, especially if you visit the National Museum or strike up a friendship with a local. If you have an extra day or two, I recommend adding Male City to the beginning or end of your trip- you’ll be glad you did. ;)

How many days do I need in Male?

Although Male is jam-packed, there aren’t that many “touristy” things to do, and 2 days should be more than enough. You could see the entire city in 1 full day if you really wanted to – check out the Things To Do section below for a full-day tour in Male.

HOW TO GET TO MALE

Since Male is an island, you only have two feasible choices to get here: either by plane or boat.

The majority of tourists will fly into the Maldives’ main airport, MLE (Velana International Airport, also known as Malé International Airport). There are so many ways to get here, but the most popular routes with flights to Male are the following (many are direct flights!):

If coming from other Maldivian islands, you can also arrive by private seaplane, which will cost you a few hundred dollars per transfer. They usually start at $130 USD.

To get to Male from other islands in the Maldives, you can either take a public ferry or speedboat transfer. The public ferry is cheap (usually a few dollars) but takes longer, while the speedboat is a faster but pricier (starting at around $20/person) option.

There are also a handful of cruises that go to the Maldives.

TRANSPORTATION & GETTING AROUND MALE

Male is a little more than a mile wide. It would take you only around 30 minutes to walk from one end of the island to the other – maybe more if you get stuck in “traffic.” ;)

Thanks to the compactness of the island, Male is extremely easy to get around on foot. We walked the entire time while we were there, and only took a car twice: Once when we landed and had a complimentary hotel shuttle transfer (there are plenty of accommodations that offer this bonus – just check on Booking or Agoda !) and the second time when we took a taxi to the ferry station.

Taxis are surprisingly cheap in Male, and shouldn’t cost more than one or two dollars (about 20 to 30 MVR) to get to most places on the island. However, make sure to know the rough cost of your fare before getting into the cab – some taxi drivers like to take advantage of tourists and quote them overpriced fares!

HOW TO GET OUT OF MALE

When you’re ready to leave Male, you have three options: ferry, speedboat, and seaplane. Seaplanes are normally used only to transfer to resort hotels, while ferries and speedboats are used by both locals and tourists.

FERRY Male is the biggest hub for ferries, and you can easily catch one that will take you to your next island. It’s the most budget-friendly variant, with most tickets costing less than $10USD – ours from Male to Maafushi was only $2.

SPEEDBOAT As mentioned above, you can go between Male and the surrounding islands by private or public speedboat. There are a few companies that offer this service, such as Atoll Transfer and iCom. Prices start at $20/person.

🏨 WHERE TO STAY IN MALE / ACCOMMODATIONS IN MALE 🏨

Male might seem small, but there are plenty of highly-rated and reasonably-priced accommodations scattered around the island. Here are some of the best:

Male Hostels

Napcorner / Nap Corner ($) – Although there aren’t many hostels in Male (or, heck, even the Maldives), they do have this cool futuristic pod hostel! Prices start at only $20/night.

Agoda || Booking.com

– Male Hotels

LVIS Boutique Hotel ($$) – Thank goodness that this was the first hotel that we stayed at during our Maldives trip – the staff were so helpful, especially when I tried to figure out the transfer between Male and our resort hotel (they even called the other hotel to finalize the time!). Rooms are comfortable and come with all amenities. Close to the main street and they have delicious juice for breakfast. :)

Agoda || Booking.com || Hotels.com || HotelsCombined

Somerset Inn ($$)

Sister to the Somerset Hotel, the Somerset Inn is a smaller and more boutique-like accommodation that we stayed in during our last day. The front desk staff is extremely organized and helped us with so many things (where to eat, arranging an airport transfer, etc.). The breakfast buffet is delicious and has many options. Just like their website states, it’s a “boutique experience on a budget.”

Sala Boutique Hotel ($$$)

*Boutique Hotel* Centrally located, Sala is a boutique hotel that’s decorated with the theme of Thailand – even the rooms are named after famous cities, like Chiang Mai! Their restaurant, Sala Thai, is next door (check out more info below) with ingredients flown all the way from Thailand.

Samann Grand ($$$)

Newly opened, Samann Grand is already getting raving reviews. Although I personally didn’t stay here, one of the couples from our cruise only had positive things to say about this hotel – they loved the decor and continental breakfast.

Agoda || Booking.com || Hotels.com

Hotel Jen Male ($$$)

Part of the Shangri-La brand, Hotel Jen is one of the most luxurious hotels on Male Island. It’s close to all of the major tourist sites (National Museum, Beach, Mosque) and ferry terminals; offers complimentary airport transfer; and has a stunning infinity pool on the roof!

– Male Resorts

Although there aren’t any all-inclusive resorts in Male City (too crowded!), there are plenty around the atoll.

We stayed at the Adaaran Prestige Vadoo , but you can check out all of the resorts on Booking or Agoda !

WHERE TO EAT IN MALE

Apart from the all-inclusive resorts, Male is the best place to eat in the Maldives! There are hundreds of restaurants, cafes, teahouses, and eateries packed into this small island with dozens of different cuisines – especially Indian, Malay, American, and, of course, Maldivian. Here are a few that I recommend:

Royal Garden Cafe – Although it looks unassuming from the outside, Royal Garden Cafe is actually a ganduvaru (nobleman’s house) with fancy woodwork and a cozy environment. It’s the perfect spot for a quick coffee break or a full meal.

Symphony – After being persuaded by a local to try out another restaurant (which turned out to be awful, not to mention a tourist trap), we found Symphony on Google Maps and gave it a try. Besides the delicious and fairly-priced food, there were mostly locals here – which is always a good sign! I recommend the drinks (try the Watermelon Cooler!), fruit platter, and grilled dishes.

Salt Cafe & Restaurant – Recommended by our local tour guide (check him out in the What To Do section below), we stopped to have lunch at Salt. Aside from the modern design and friendly service, there’s also an amazing rooftop terrace where you can dine and enjoy the weather. It’s also close to the shore, which means delicious seafood – you can’t go wrong with the Mixed Seafood Basket or Catch of the Day ;)

Sala Thai – One of the best Thai restaurants on the island, with a lively outdoor garden where you can sit and enjoy the food. The Thom Yum soup was my favorite dish here.

Seagull Cafe House – A very cute (and popular!) cafe with a huge variety of options. If you’re craving a burger, wrap, salad, curry, or seafood dish, this is the place to eat. Don’t forget to check out their crazy desserts, like the banana split above.

Calorie Counter Maldives – I was surprised to see a “healthy food” restaurant in Male, and it didn’t disappoint! The juices and wraps were my favorites.

THINGS TO DO IN MALE

When I was chatting about our stay in Male to a couple in our resort, one of them looked at me, very surprised, and asked something like, Two days? What is there to do in Male for such a long period of time??

I get it: Most travelers see Male as a “ transit city ,” one that you fly into for a few hours before transferring to a resort or another island, and don’t take the time to properly explore. While I agree that it’s probably going to get boring after the second day, that doesn’t mean that Male should be skipped. In fact, there are a few interesting things to do on the island!

We started off our trip with a full day Male walking tour to get acquainted with the island. If you’re short on time and want to see as much of Male as possible, I highly recommend this tour ! Our guide took us to the most important sites like the Friday Mosque, Medhu Ziyaariay, and President’s Palace; to the local market and fish market; and a lunch break at two different cafes. Since we had an extra hour, we even took a ferry to another island and explored it.

If you prefer to plan your itinerary by yourself, here are some of my recommendations for what to see in Male City:

National Museum of Maldives

A can’t miss if you’re interested in learning more about Maldivian history! It’s a 2-story museum that has over a hundred artifacts from different periods in Maldives history, such as ancient stones, clothing that the royal family wore, and an exhibit on the Maldivian language.

You can walk around the museum in about an hour – and if you have extra time, definitely don’t miss the police museum in the back. It’s a small little museum, but the worker there gave us such a detailed tour and was really passionate about the history. :)

COST: 100 MVR (6 USD) per person and $1 USD to take photos.

Old Friday Mosque (Hukuru Miskiiy)

The oldest mosque in the Maldives (it’s over 400 years old!) with some amazing architectural details.

Grand Friday Mosque

Old Friday Mosque may be the oldest, but the Grand Friday Mosque is the largest – it can hold up to 5,000 people! You can’t miss it if you’re walking around the center, and it’s a gorgeous building – definitely on my list of most beautiful mosques around the world. You can see it above.

Victory Monument

A short walk from Sultan Park and the Grand Friday Mosque, the Victory Monument is an interesting monument dedicated to a turbulent period in Maldivian history. Did you know that a group of locals tried to overthrow the government 30 years ago? Check out the Coup of 1988 on Google and you’ll know why this monument is so important.

Sultan Park

A lovely sprawling garden full of trees, fountains, and flowers. The entrance fee is around $5 USD, but it’s worth it if you need a place to relax and take a break from walking around.

SHOPPING IN MALE CITY

Whether you’re looking for a simple fridge magnet or a one-of-a-kind hand-painted scarf, the stores in Male have your back! You can find small artisanal boutiques, souvenir stores, and huge malls in the capital.

I recommend starting from one end of the main road ( Majeedhee Magu) and making your way to the other side. Since it’s the busiest road, you’ll find plenty of stores selling souvenirs, electronics, food, clothing, children’s things, and more. Here are a few other recommendations:

Male Fish Market & Local Market – These are actually two separate markets, but I’ve combined them together because they’re next to each other. I highly recommend visiting both because you’ll see how locals live (check out the guy who cuts fish!) and you can get some delicious fruits for a later snack.

S.T.O Trade Centre – Huge supermarket that has a souvenir section with fair prices.

Island Bazaar – A stylish boutique with a great selection of handmade items.

HOW TO SAVE MONEY IN MALE, MALDIVES

– If the prices in Male are a little too expensive, try staying at one of the neighboring islands such as Hulhumale (it’s literally the next one over!) Instead of paying $75 for a decent room in Male, you’ll only pay half of that. Rooms start at $30 – you can check out a list of hotels in Hulhumale here .

– Don’t worry about taking a taxi – the entire island is easily walkable (unless it’s 40C outside and you don’t want to get heatstroke)!

– Avoid buying juice and fruit drinks at cafes and restaurants, as they tend to be overpriced (Usually starting at 60 MVR / $4USD) for some reason. Most places will give you one bottled water for free when you sit down.

– There are plenty of supermarkets scattered around the island, where you can buy snacks and cheap bottles of water. Some of them even sell cheap souvenirs ;)

That’s it for my Male travel guide! Have you been to Male or the Maldives? Let me know if this guide was helpful, and as always, happy travels!

Over view of the maldives capital city

While Malé island is geographically part of the Kaafu Atoll, it is not administratively part of it. The island of Malé forms the city's central region. Hulhulé, Hulhumalé, Vilimalé, Gulhifalhu, and Thilafushi are among the city's five additional islands. On the central island, a commercial harbour acts as the hub of the country's commercial activity, The central island is densely populated, with the built-up area occupying almost the entire landmass. [nine] The capital city houses slightly less than one-third of the country's population, and its population has grown from 40,000 in 1987 to 100,000 in 2006 and today 350,000.

The Maldives is the name given to the entire island group. "The islands (dives) of "" Malé male maldives " is how the term "Maldives" is translated. The first settlers in the Maldivian islands were Dravidians who came from the modern Indian Subcontinent's neighboring shores and coastal Ceylon. From ancient times, comparative studies of Maldivian linguistic, oral, and other cultural practices, as well as folklore, point to a deep Dravidian influence on Maldivian culture, centered in Malé. The Giraavaru people of Giraavaru claim to be descendants of the Maldives' first Tamil settlers. Early Tamil settlers dubbed the islands Malaitivu, which translates to "Garland Islands" or "Chain Islands." Giraavaru fishermen used to go to a certain big sandbank at the southern end of their atoll on a regular basis to clean tuna fish after a successful catch, according to legend.

The names of Malé Island's main four wards or divisions are said to have been provided by the original Giraavaru fishermen: Maafannu (big) and fannu (a place where a village path meets the sea), Henveiru (out where fishermen got their bait), Galolhu (stone groove), and Macchangolhi (matchi-angolhi) (windward path-fork).

When Ibn Battuta visited Malé Maldives in 1343, he wrote a detailed overview of the city as well as the Maldives Islands as a whole. He stated that the Queen, Rehendhi Khadeeja, had a home in Malé island, which, based on its description, could be the same palace as that of the later sultan rulers in the island's center. Several pits inside the palace grounds held stocks of cowrie shells ready to be sold. Ibn Battuta also listed a number of wooden mosques.

Capital Malé island had 2,148 residents in 1888, but rapid population growth necessitated the search for new housing spaces. Under Muhammad Shamsuddeen III's reign, the old forts and crumbling walls were demolished and reconstructed on a smaller scale in 1925-1927. Roads were also straightened and widened. Former broad cemeteries had also been demolished to make way for more houses. When the city was remodeled under President Ibrahim Nasir's rule in the aftermath of the monarchy's abolition in 1968, the Royal Palace, along with the picturesque forts and bastions, were demolished. Only the National Museum and the Malé Friday Mosque remain, as well as the last sultan's residence. Malé's population swelled to 11,453 in 1967 and 29,522 in 1977. By 1986, the shallow lagoon around Malé had been reclaimed to accommodate the increasing population.

Things to do in Male City, Maldives

Male City in the Maldives is well-known for its beautifully constructed mosques, colorful buildings, amazing fish markets, delectable local cuisine, and, most importantly, its rich Asian culture, which can be found almost everywhere in the Maldives capital.

Whether you are staying in the Maldives for a short or long period of time, there are a few things you must do to make your trip to the Maldives more exciting. Local tour guides in the Maldives' capital Male are the best in this regard, as they can help you choose or customize your tour based on your budget and the length of your stay in Male.

So, what are the best things that you can do during your stay in Capital Male City? We've compiled a list of some of the best things you can do in Male, the Maldives' capital city, at very low prices:

Historical Attractions in Male are a Must

The Maldives has a rich history, which you can easily see while strolling down the country's roads and streets. The famous Boduthakurufaanu Magu, which was named after the famous win over the Portuguese in the 16th century, is right next to the airport for you to come out and visit during your waiting hours.

Near this historical attraction lies another famous park called "The Sultan Park" and the "Jumhooree Maidan", which is there in remembrance of the Sultanate’s finale in 1968.

Grand Friday Mosque and Hukuru Miskiiy

If you are here in Capital Male City for a longer period, then you must not miss your visit to Hukuru Miskiiy, which is a great coral stone mosque. It is worth visiting if you want to have a deeper look into the rich culture and history of the Maldives.

Just like Hukuru Miskiiy, Grand Friday Mosque is another big and famous mosque located right in the heart of Male City. The Hukuru Miskiiy is more of heritage now, and it is the Grand Friday Mosque where most people visit for their daily prayers and other religious activities. The Grand Friday Mosque is beautiful from both inside and outside. The architecture and layout of this mosque are enough to grab the attention of passersby.

Henveiru Beach

Although the Maldives, has plenty of beaches, the one with the most spectacular views and serene environment is known as Henveiru Beach, an artificial beach in the capital Male city. Located on the eastern side of the island, this beach is a perfect destination to spend your last hours or last day in Male Maldives.

It is also one of those places in Capital Male City where you can relax and enjoy life away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life because it is usually quiet and empty. This place usually comes to life in the afternoon and mostly on weekends. So, in the morning hours and on weekdays, you can really enjoy the quiet vibe of the ocean in the Maldives capital city.

Sinamale Bridge

If you are taking bike and car tours, then you can add the visit to Sinamale Bridge to your customized package. Because you wouldn’t like to miss out on the most beautiful views the Capital Male City has to offer. The Sinamale Bridge joins the islands of Male, Hulhule, and Hulhumale and has separate tracks for cars, bikes, and pedestrians, which makes the bridge accessible to walking tours too.

The best thing about Sinamale Bridge is that it is close to the airport, so if you are in Male at short notice, then all you have to do is to call us and we will give you an amazing ride to and from this bridge with scenic views of the Indian Ocean right beneath you and Male Island all around you.

Victory Monument

The Victory Monument is a great way to learn about the history of the Maldives when the Indian government helped this beautiful country fight and win against the Siri Lankan rebels' attack. The Victory Monument is worth visiting because of its beautiful angelic white marble all around and the central white, green, and red colored circular symbol.

As the Victory Monument is located away from the proud city life, people often visit there to find peace and tranquility, a rare thing to find in the capital male city.

Tsunami Monument

The Tsunami Monument, which is located within walking distance of the Jetty, is another must-see attraction in Maldives Capital. The Tsunami Monument is included in almost every type of local tour guide, i.e., walking tour guides, bike tour guides, and car tour guides.

The Tsunami Monument was built to remember the lives many countries lost in the 2004 tsunami. It is a beautiful, clean, and quiet place. This area is also the best for sea views as the open space gives a very beautiful view of the Indian Ocean, which is quite a scenic view to enjoy in a peaceful environment.

Male Fish and the Local Market

Visiting the fish and local markets in Maldives Capital is on almost every traveler's bucket list. Most tourists and those waiting for ferries or flights often visit these markets to pass their time instead of going to monuments and mosques. The reason lies in the vibrant and active lifestyle of residents one can get to know in these markets.

The local market is not that big but is famous for its wide varieties of fruits, vegetables, and other local products like coconut oil, coconut-honey candy, etc.

The Fish Market is a great way to learn about how the fish are offloaded and transferred to this fish market. Visiting the Fish Market early in the morning will give you an idea of how hard fishermen work to provide fresh fish every day for both locals and tourists.

The Capital Male city is a mix of modern and historical culture in the Maldives. While you can easily see skyscraping buildings with lush resorts and hotels, on one hand, the Maldives' history and old culture are also right there for tourists to learn about the country and its capital, Male, in detail. Local tour guides in Male City are the best way to make the most of your time in this city; these guides know the best and most scenic routes to every attraction in this city that you don't want to miss.

Male Island: A travel guide to the capital of the Maldives

Find out what to do, where to eat, how to get to male and much more..

Male or Malé , is the biggest city and the capital of the Maldives . There, you will find buildings, offices, shops, restaurants, mosques, and you will see Maldives in a completely different way than you are used to.

Male Island is a cool place to visit if you want to understand better how a Maldivian way of life looks like, and what is the best place to find ferries and speedboats to go to other islands.

Where is Male, Maldives?

The city of Male is located in the Kaafu Atoll , right next to the airport’s island (Hulhumale). Check it out Male on the map :

Dress code in Male

As we mentioned in our Maldives complete guide , since Islam is their official religion they have some specific laws that are applied on the inhabited islands.

And in the case of Male, which is the most populated island in the archipelago, the dress code is more restricted than other islands so make sure you cover chest and thighs there.

Is Male worth visiting?

If you are looking for an immersion into the Maldives culture and history , my answer is yes. Bear with us until the end of this article as we will soon share with you some tips of what to do in Male .

But if you just want to relax at the beach, then I would suggest you to go to another island, such as Maafushi , Rasdhoo or Dhigurah for example.

How long should I stay in Male, Maldives?

2 days sightseeing around is more than enough in my opinion, but if you decide to take day tours leaving from Male , then it makes more sense to stay longer.

Transportation in Male

How to go from maldives international airport to male island.

The Velana International Airport ( airport code: MLE ) isn’t located in Male as most people think.

A nearby island called Hulhumale is where the Maldives International Airport is actually located.

You can go from Maldives International Airport to Male by ferry, by bus or by car.

Back when I was in Maldives (April/2018), the only way to reach Male from the airport was by ferry or speedboat. I preferred to take the ferry because they run it very frequently and it is super cheap, I paid only MRV 5.50 (less than US$0.50) at the time.

They have ferries leaving from the airport every 10 minutes from 6am to 11:59pm and every 30 minutes from 00am to 5:59am.

In August 2018, a 2.1km long bridge called Sinamalé Bridge was built, and now travellers can go from the airport to Male island by car and by bus in an approximately 15 minutes ride.

Important! Please note that speedboats, ferries and buses may drop you off in different points of the island.

From Male to Maafushi

To go from Male to Maafushi you can take a speedboat or a ferry.

In case you go by ferry to Maafushi, you need to take the Route 309 (K. Guraidhoo – Male City).

According to the MTCC’s website, the ferry cost around US$2* per person and the ferry runs on Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, at 3pm. This is the cheapest option.

You may take a look on the updated schedule and price of the route here .

For speedboats you may contact your accommodation to arrange the speedboat for you or ask them to give you the company’s number.

The speedboats work everyday, the cost is usually about US$30* per person and it takes approximately 35 minutes to get to Maafushi from Male.

From Male to Rasdhoo, Ukulhas or Thoddoo

You can take a ferry or speedboat to go from Male to Rasdhoo , Ukulhas or Thodhoo .

The ferry route is the 303 (Aa. Thoddoo – Male City), the fare according to MTCC’s costs around US$5*.

The ferry leaves from Male on Mondays and Thursdays at 9am, and leaves Rasdhoo on Wednesdays and Sundays at 11am. Check it out the updated schedule and cost here .

Speedboats take about 1 hour to get from Male to Rasdhoo and cost about US$40*.

You may check with your accommodation the speedboat’s contact or ask them to arrange the ride for you.

From Male to Dhigurah

The best way to go from Male to Dhigurah is by speedboat.

The ferry takes about 4 hours to get there and the cost isn’t too different from the speedboat’s cost which is about US$40*.

Important! Bear in mind that the ferries don’t work on Friday as it is the muslim holiday.

Taxi in Male, Maldives

You can go around Male island by taxi, but I gotta confess that I had two frustrating episodes there.

Some taxi drivers don’t like to carry luggage that much, they say that it may damage the car seats or trunks, so they often just pass by you once they see it.

I was able to get a ride both times from locals in motorbikes who offered me help, but this is because I had a backpack and not a suitcase.

Luckily there are always amazing Maldivians out there to help us out =)

LMTM Tip: If possible, ask a local how much it should cost to go from place A to place B before getting a cab. This way you will have an idea of the average price and drivers won’t be able to take advantage of you.

Things to do in Male, Maldives

If you are wondering where to go in Male , here is a list for you:

The main attractions in the city of Male

Grand friday mosque.

The Grand Friday Mosque is the biggest mosque in Maldives. It is quite impossible not to pass by it while walking in Male. In my opinion this is the highlight of the island.

I didn’t have enough time to get into the mosque, but it definitely seems to be worth it checking it out.

Victory Monument

Right next to the Grand Friday Mosque you will find the Victory Monument which represents the victory of the Maldivians against an attack they suffered in 1988 .

Hi I like your web site. Thank you . One thing I have been searching for and no website explain about it, is Vaadhoo Island. I would like to see the SEA OF STAR. the well known phenomenon. Is it worth it? How can I get there? Would you be able to give me the choice to get there? I really really appreciated for you help.

December 28, 2022

Hi, I haven’t been to Vaadhoo Island so unfortunately I have no information about it to share with you. But regarding to the planktons (stars of the sea) you can see them in other islands too, I’ve seen them in Maafushi Island for example. The tip is to visit the islands during the new moon and go to the darkest point of the beach.

Male City Tour Maldives

Male, the capital of the Maldives Islands is a thriving city of about 100,000 people. This charming city boasts a number of recognized landmarks which should be on the itinerary of every visitor planning a Maldives city tour.

One of the capital’s prime attractions that can be seen on a Male city tour is Sultan Park and the National Museum which is also found here. Sultan Park is a tranquil garden within the bustling city, an oasis of greenery with leafy trees and ponds covered with water lilies. The National Museum features a comprehensive selection of items that belonged to Maldivian royalty; also on display are a variety of intriguing archaeological findings.

The Mulee Aage Palace dating back to the early 18th century is another key attraction, and is an elegant colonial building built by a Maldivian Sultan. The palace is noted for its ornate white carvings. Adjacent to this edifice the visitor will see the Grand Friday Mosque, a magnificent architectural triumph featuring lovely coral engravings, an imposing gold dome and impressive minarets; inside you will find the tombs of members of royalty and national heroes.

The visitor will be thrilled by the attractive artificial beach in Male. Not to be missed are the multitude of shopping options available in the city; a good starting point would be the Local Market, a relatively peaceful neighbourhood where you can find local fruits, vegetables, yams, nuts and sweetmeats. On the other hand the Majeedhee Magu is filled with stalls selling handbags, garments, electronics and cosmetics. Meanwhile the Chaandanee Magu is renowned for imported products and souvenirs.

Not to be missed is the Male Fish Market, where the visitor will find a myriad of freshly caught sea creatures and the opportunity to obtain an insight into the traditional Maldivian lifestyle.

Travel Guide: Maldives

Showing you a side to this island archipelago that isn’t seen much atoll….

S nap shots and tales of visitors who have ventured to the white sands and crystal-clear waters of the Maldives are enough to get anyone dreaming of booking a flight to this dazzling atoll network nation.

As an archipelago of 1,190 coral islands in the Indian Ocean, you certainly won’t be lacking options. The fun begins with finding the right one for you. Research is key, and if you fancy following a path less often travelled, here are three less famous islands, each with their own unique charm and fully deserving of your attention.

Male, Maldives

The capital of the Maldives located in the Kaafu Atoll is a spot you must visit, even if it is just for a day. Home to some prominent icons and landmarks, the city is packed with Maldivian culture and history. Here’s our top things to do

Sultan Park

If you’ve thoroughly enjoyed a sumptuous feast of Creole cuisine for lunch and want to walk off the calories, head to Sultan Park. Built on the demolished grounds of the Royal Palace, you’ll be treated to a gorgeous green oasis. You’ll find it next to the Grand Friday Mosque.

Masjid-al-Sultan Muhammad Thakurufaanu Al Auzam

Next up, the Grand Friday Mosque – one of the biggest houses of worship in the whole of the Maldives. The impressive exteriors are made from grand white marble topped with a striking gold dome, while the inside showcases intricate ancient woodwork. Non-Muslims can enter the mosque relatively freely during its opening hours (arms and knees need to be covered), but access during prayer time is restricted.

Malé Fish Market

A visit to a fish market isn’t something you’d see on most Maldivian itineraries, but remember, fishing is the original lifeblood of this island nation and around 30 per cent of the population work in the fishing industry. Pay a quick visit and watch the catches of the day being hauled in and cleaned. It’s the closest you’ll get to experiencing the local life.

Crossroads Maldives

Located about a 20-minute speed boat ride away from Malé is the Maldives’ only multi-island destination. It is home to two stunning family-friendly resorts – SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection by Hilton and the Hard Rock Hotel Maldives, each occupying its own island but connected by a bridge over clear turquoise waters.

Home to spacious rooms, stunning over-water villas, studios and suites, each offers pristine views of the turquoise waters, the resorts are perfect for families, couples and even single travelers.

Away from your room, you’ll find a number of restaurants serving up various delicious dishes, spots to shop and spas. Want to travel between the islands? It’s walkable, but there are also buggies to shuttle you back and forth – perfect for when the little one’s feet are tired after a day of exploring.

If you just want to soak in the serenity, pick a sun lounger by the beach where you can enjoy sip on a drink, read a book or maybe take a nap under the sun.

*What’s On travel news and guides*

For the more experienced swimmers and divers, (or if you are keen to learn how to take a plunge), Fuvahmulah should be on the top of your Maldives island bucket list.

Located on the Gnaviyani Atoll, you will need to hop on a flight and head to the southern region of Maldives. Your flight will take you passed the equator, and to celebrate the occasion, you will receive a certificate complete with your name and flight details. It’s an occasion that has been celebrated for centuries by sailors and definitely a memory for the showcase.

While you’re there, here are few extra must-dos…

Get down and dirty with a mud bath in the wetland areas. Since the island is of volcanic origin, the mud is rich in minerals and is a relaxing and fun experience. To get to the natural mud bath requires a bit of trekking, but more importantly you need to watch where you step. We suggest going with a tour guide who will be able to take you to and from the mud bath safely.

Thoondu Beach

After your fun mud escapade, you can clean up in the shallow waters at Thoondu Beach. Located on the north of the island, the beach is famous with the locals and tourists for one unique feature: the white sand isn’t really sand at all, rather it is made of up coral pebbles. Sadly though, it is not recommended that you swim here as the currents are quite strong, but surfers can enjoy showing off their skills here in August.

Extreme Dive Fuvahmulah

At the five-star PADI dive centre-certified Extreme Dive Fuvahmulah, you can learn from the best with Extreme’s experienced and professional team. It features a 4.5 metre-deep swimming pool where you will practice breathing techniques, equalising, and all the important hand signals. The diving centre is stocked with all the necessary equipment for you to rent, so show up and give it a go. Once the team thinks you’re ready it’s time to enjoy a…

Tiger Shark Dive

The Extreme Dive Fuvahmulah team offers a number of dives each day (suitable weather conditions permitting). During your experience you are likely to come face-to-toothy-face with several different shark species along with other fascinating sea creatures. But you won’t be alone, as every dive is accompanied by the experienced diving centre team. Non-swimmers are welcome to stay on the boat and enjoy spotting plenty of marine life from above.

Getting there

Emirates offers four daily flights from Dubai to Malé, Maldives. Prices over the summer start from Dhs2,940.
