4 days in Maldives Itinerary

The tiny but densely populated city of Male represents a contrast to the laid-back beach resorts found in much of the rest of the Maldives.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at HP Reef and Nala Boutique. Give yourself a bit of retail therapy at Male Fish Market and Mare Scuba Concept. There's lots more to do: tour the pleasant surroundings at Artificial Beach, browse the eclectic array of goods at Male Local Market, see the interesting displays at National Museum, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Grand Friday Mosque.

To see maps, where to stay, reviews, and more tourist information, refer to the Male sightseeing planner.

Mumbai (Bombay), India to Male is an approximately 5.5-hour combination of flight and ferry. Traveling from Mumbai (Bombay) in December, expect somewhat warmer with lows of 30°C in Male. Finish your sightseeing early on the 16th (Sat) so you can travel back home.
