WHAT TO SEE ON A TRIP TO MALÉ

NORTH MALE ATOLL - Composed of almost 50 islands with wonderful beaches, it is also the atoll where the capital Malé is located, surrounded by crystal clear sea but modern, full of shops and colorful buildings. In the city you can visit the characteristic fish and fruit market in Chandani Magu street, Sultan's Park, the presidential mansion of Mulee-aage and the two main mosques of Grand Friday and Old Friday. North Male Atoll is also a favorite with surfers.

VAADHO ISLAND - It is located in the Huvadhu atoll and can be reached by the typical Maldivian boat, the dhoni, or by seaplane. It is a mandatory destination because the spectacle that will appear in front of you at night will leave you breathless: thanks to the bioluminescent microorganisms, the water lights up with many bluish lights that seem to reflect the stars in the sky. A magical experience to do at least once in a lifetime.

ARI ATOLL - A paradise for diving. Here, in this huge area protected by coral reefs, diving enthusiasts will find many sites such as Kudafolhudoo, Rangali, Maayafushi but above all Dhidhdhoo Beyru, where the whale shark also swims, one of the largest animals in the world. Manta rays can also be found in this atoll, just head to Madivaru.

BAA ATOLL - Unesco World Biosphere Reserve since 2011, this atoll located in the eastern part is made up of 75 islands of which only 13 are inhabited, while the others are exclusively used as a resort. The southern part of Maalhosmadulu is absolutely worth visiting, in fact it is here that the greatest biodiversity is found: lush mangroves, rare sea turtles and the very particular ring-shaped coral reef.

NOONU ATOLL - For those looking for an exclusive atoll, there is nothing better than Noonu Atoll. Here, on Rendheli Island, there is also the very famous Cheval Blanc resort. Between turquoise lagoons and wonderful beaches, you will find yourself in an idyllic and refined atmosphere. For those who can afford it, it is the top of the Maldives.
