Malé, the capital of the Maldives, is a tropical city that resembles a dazzling pearl inlaid on the Indian Ocean, exuding captivating charm.

The mosque's interior is exquisitely decorated, with delicate wood carvings and vibrant murals showcasing the superb craftsmanship of local artisans. Here, one can sense a profound religious atmosphere and appreciate the Maldivian people's devout faith. The fish market is the most vibrant part of Malé. Early in the morning, fishermen return with their bountiful catches, and fresh seafood fills the stalls. Tuna, grouper, crabs, and various other seafood abound, filling the air with the scent of the ocean. The bustling scene at the fish market showcases Malé's close connection to the sea. The local fishermen are warm and straightforward, skillfully handling their freshly caught seafood. The sounds of bargaining and laughter intertwine, composing a unique symphony of life. Strolling along Malé's beaches, the fine white sand is as soft as powder, and the crystal-clear water transitions from light blue to deep blue, breathtakingly beautiful. Gentle waves lap against the shore, bringing a touch of coolness. In the distance, the horizon merges seamlessly with the sky, and seabirds circle overhead, tracing graceful arcs. Here, you can bask in the sun and sand, embracing the gentle caress of the ocean. Malé's cuisine is also distinctive. Coconut is a common local ingredient, and coconut rice offers a soft and chewy texture with a rich coconut aroma.

1. Budget and Expenses The budget for this trip to the Maldives is CNY 15,600 for two people. The details are as follows: 1. Airfare: Purchase three weeks in advance to get a lower price, about CNY 2,000–2,100 per person, only available on AirAsia and without checked baggage service. You need to bring your own diving equipment and a small amount of carry-on luggage. 2. Transit Hotel: It is recommended to choose a hotel in Hulhumale, which is close to the sea and you can go to the beach at night. Stay at The Whiteharp, which offers airport pick-up and drop-off services, but the soundproofing is slightly poor, the air conditioning is sufficient, and the breakfast is well-reviewed. 3. Resort Hotel: The budget is CNY 5,000 per person, including accommodation and some meals. 2. Itinerary 1. After arriving in the Maldives, check in to the transit hotel first. The Whiteharp Hotel provides airport pick-up and drop-off services, which is very convenient. 2. Early the next morning, the transit hotel will wake you up and take you to the airport speedboat terminal. Take a speedboat from the terminal to Thulhagiri Island. 3. The accommodation environment on Thulhagiri Island is super cost-effective! The room is clean and hygienic, with large windows and a spacious deck, and you can go directly to the sea. Room 237 is recommended, although it is a little far from the restaurant, the location is excellent. 4. Enjoy the HB package on the island, including breakfast and dinner, but excluding alcoholic beverages. There is a wide variety of food such as chicken, duck, beef, and lamb, and the desserts are especially delicious. Please note that you can only get two bottles of free drinking water per day, so it is recommended to buy large bottles of water in Male and bring them to the island. 5. The island has a beautiful environment, clear water, fine sand, and coconut trees. You can see sharks, manta rays, and other marine life under the water house. When snorkeling to the side of the sea trench, you can see many corals and schools of fish, as well as sea turtles. 3. Consumption on the Island The consumption level on the Maldives islands is relatively high, but there are also good and cheap products. For example, drinking water is CNY 2, Coke is CNY 4, refrigerator magnets are CNY 8, and shark wood carvings are CNY 17. Although the price is not high, it is recommended to save money and consume reasonably. 4. Summary The sea view of the Maldives is overwhelmingly better than other islands! If you have been to Saipan, Bali, Semporna, Egypt, and the Mediterranean, you will still be shocked by the sea view of the Maldives. I hope this guide can help you enjoy your trip to the Maldives better!

Malé, the capital of the Maldives, is a compact and vibrant city. We spent half a day here before going to Kani Island. The sea here is also very beautiful! When you leave the airport, you will really feel that the ceiling of the glass sea is here! To be honest, you can stroll around slowly and finish it in one day~ Recommended attractions🚗: Sultan Park: This is a quiet oasis in Malé, with the National Museum in the park. Here you can learn about the history and culture of the Maldives. After the visit, you can stroll in the park and enjoy a moment of tranquility. - Friday Mosque, Hukuru Miskiy: This centuries-old coral stone mosque is one of the most famous landmarks in Malé. Remember to wear long pants and long-sleeved tops. Female tourists also need to wear a headscarf to visit. - Fish Market: Located on the waterfront road, this is a good place to experience local life. In the afternoon, the fishermen will return with the day's catch, and the market is full of fresh seafood. Even if you don't buy it, you can watch the lively trading scene. Recommended food👍🏻: Try authentic Maldivian dishes. It is recommended to taste mas huni (tuna salad), garudhiya (fish soup) or various seafood barbecues. Malé has many good restaurants that offer these dishes. Tips💡 - Don't miss buying some handicrafts when shopping in Malé, such as woven baskets, shell jewelry, etc. as souvenirs. - Although English is widely used locally, learning a few simple Dhivehi greetings can help you communicate better with locals. - Pay attention to respect local customs and habits, especially near religious places.

#familytravel #awesomepic #maldives #hulhumale #hotel #seaanimal #blue #indianocean #100WaysOfTravel Another recommended hotel to stay in Malé while waiting for the seaplane arrangement to the private island. It is strategically located in the Hulhumale area which is only 10 min away from the Velana International Airport and free round trip airport transfer is offered by the hotel. 🏖️Ambiance/Facilities: - the room is rather small but it is clean enough. - some room type is facing the ocean view with balcony available. - rooftop restaurant with sea view - Artificial beach is right in front of the hotel and water-sports activities are avail. 👍🏻Service: - All the staffs are friendly and willing to help. - For the pick up service, they will also contact via whatsapps 1 day before to confirm and the POC is ready in the airport prior to us to make sure everything is in order. 💰Average Price per room: starting from RM 375 ++ 🥰Overall Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

#seascapes Located strategically 10 min away from the Malé International Airport, Hulhumale is an artificial island created with white long beach and crystal water. If you have been dreaming for Maldives but concern about the high cost of travelling here, you may consider to stay in Hulhumale area instead of taking the seaplane or speedboat to other private islands. Same as those resorts, there are beautiful beach and fantastic Indian Ocean View as well as a lot of watersports being offered here. During the sunset time, you can also go to the harbour or any western side in the island to experience the sky changing color and sun setting over the sea!! A plus point, if you prefer a tranquil area over the bustling downtown, this is a perfect place for you as currently they are lesser tourists compared to the other side of Malé. Yet, it just takes around 15 min time by driving if you would like to have a short walk in the city centre. Coming back to Hulhumale, the sea is again right in front of you. **** Most of the hotels here are offering FREE roundtrip airport transfer, do arrange it with them so that you can save more from using the AVAS ride.

Upon arrival at Malé International Airport, we went to our hotel via speedboat. We also explored around the resort’s facilities. We then went for our most favorite place for Snorkeling Excursion. Most resorts offer guided snorkeling trips to nearby coral reefs. You may check with the hotel or resort in advance. For our case, we pay $50 per person. We also visited Malé. If you're staying near Malé, I would definitely recommend you to take a half-day trip to the capital. You can visit places like, Hukuru Miskiy (Old Friday Mosque), Sultan Park and Malé Fish Market. We also spent lots of time to relax on the Beach, enjoying the pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters. Just to recommend some of my favorite restaurants 🏖️ One of my most favorite restaurant will be The Lighthouse Restaurant, Baros Maldives. They served very very fresh seafood. It offered a romantic dining with views over the lagoon We had very good experience and really enjoyed the food and view. Do try out their seafood chowder which I think it’s the best 🥰🥰🥰 💰 $150-250 I would also recommend you Reef Club, One&Only Reethi Rah. They served mainly Italian food. We tried the seafood and also Wood-fired pizzas which was recommended by the staff. It was really delicious, and the pizza was very crispy. 💰 $50-70 per person. Aside from snorkeling, we also spent some time for Scuba Diving. The Maldives is famous for its world-class dive sites. You can also check out for Banana Reef, Fish Head. I think the price is reasonable. All the staffs were really nice and professional. 💰 They charge about $100-150 per dive (including gear) We also explored activities like Jet Skiing, Parasailing 🪂 Kayaking. 💰Normally it costs around $50-100 per activity. After all the hectic activities, we also spent time to explore the Sunset Dolphin Cruise🚢 A relaxing way to end our trip. Overall, the trip was very relaxing. We really enjoy it and hope to come back again soon. Last but not least, if you’re a big fan of Yoga like me, definitely try out their Sunrise Yoga. Where you get to experience yoga session on the beach. 💰$20-50 #weekendgetaways #vacation #beach

We stayed at the AMBER BEACH HOTEL for one night before heading to the resort. The reason we chose this hotel was because it was close to the airport and had a shuttle service👍 We met a staff member with an AMBER BEACH HOTEL nameplate in the arrival lobby, and three groups of us were picked up and dropped off by car. The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, where we would be staying from the next day onwards, had contacted the hotel in advance, and when we checked in, they told us the next day's pick-up time! There is a beach in front of the hotel, and the view is great! The surrounding area is noisy, and the atmosphere is similar to the downtown areas of Bali and Cebu. The security is not good, but since there is a shuttle service, we didn't have to go outside, so we felt safe😉 The hotel was clean and enough to rest after a long trip! There were two free bottles of water, and Wi-Fi was also free. The bad point is that there was no hot water in our room and the water pressure was weak! (I heard from other guests that they had no problems with hot water, so maybe I was just unlucky...) The only amenities provided are shampoo and body soap, so please bring your own toothbrush and conditioner! It's a great place to stay overnight before going to the resort, so please consider it😊 -------------------- #AccommodationReview

Express Inn Hulhumalé is a budget guesthouse ideal for short stays or airport transits. Located near the beach and just minutes from the airport, it offers friendly service. Rooms are small with basic amenities, and some facilities may be lacking. Best suited for travelers prioritizing location and affordability. The restaurant offers snacks and meals that are tasty and affordable. #travel #trip #hotel #maldives

#aprilblooms Before heading to a luxurious resort, I decided to spend a night in Malé, and I’m so glad I chose this hotel!

The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff was super friendly, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. Since Malé is quite compact, staying here made it easy to explore the local area. I had a chance to try some delicious Maldivian food and take a relaxing walk along the waterfront before catching my boat transfer to the resort the next day. If you need a convenient and comfortable place to stay before heading to the islands, this hotel is a great choice! Why You Should Stay Here: ✔ Affordable yet clean and comfortable accommodation. ✔ Great location for exploring Malé before heading to a resort. 📍 Address: (Hotel address in Malé) #Malé #Maldives #SpringTravel #IslandGetaway #AffordableLuxury
