Malé (Capital City)

#maldivestrip Malé, the bustling capital of the Maldives, is a city unlike any other. Spread across just under 9 square kilometers, it may be one of the smallest national capitals in the world by area, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in energy, character, and cultural significance. Often overshadowed by the country’s picture-perfect islands and luxurious resorts, Malé offers travelers a rare glimpse into the daily lives of Maldivians and a chance to experience the Maldives beyond the postcard.
