Male, capital of the stunning Maldives, is a bustling city whose numerous attractions are often overlooked by tourists heading out to the islands. This is an exciting city, far removed from the big resorts and a centre of commerce and government.

Atmospheric bazaars and brightly-coloured buildings predominate and the museums, mosques and markets are a delight to explore. The best shopping in the Maldives is also to be found here, with many top labels and designer goods imported from Singapore.

Arriving in Hulhulé after a flight to the Maldives with Qatar Airways, the first thing that will strike you is that this genuinely is a tropical island paradise.

Largely unknown among tourists until the 1970s, the Maldives are today one of the top luxury destinations in the world. Crystal clear oceans, white sandy beaches and swaying palm trees – the Maldives are the epitome of a tropical holiday destination.

The collection of over 1,100 coral islands means that the most common method of transport is by boat or seaplane. Island hopping is a great way to experience the delights above water.

Under the waves there is a second paradise waiting to be explored, and the Maldives offers some of the best diving and snorkelling in the world.

Tourist attractions

The Maldives is different to many destinations in that there are relatively few attractions to visit on land. The main attractions of the islands are natural, rather than man-made, so to discover the very best of the islands’ riches you will need to don a swimsuit and head out with one of the many diving parties to explore the coral reefs.

Filled with brilliantly coloured fish and a wealth of natural wonders, the waters of the Maldives offer a rich tapestry of aquatic colour and beauty.

If you’re not a swimmer or prefer to stay on dry land then a visit to the nation’s capital island of Malé for some casual shopping and to see the ‘real’ Maldives away from the custom-made resorts of the islands.

Travel Considerations

Flights to the Maldives with Qatar Airways land at Malé International Airport. Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. Before you fly to the Maldives please check the visa and passport requirements.
