In Male itself, there is little to do for tourists. As a rule, they come to this city only to go further to more remote islands. Therefore, one day in Male will be enough.

It is better to book plane tickets at least four weeks before the trip. Set price alerts on Kiwi.com so as not to miss the price reduction for the selected flights!

Male itself is pretty cheap for tourists. Guesthouses and local hotels start from $30 per night. Lunch at a local cafe will cost $10–12. However, if you want to enjoy the flawless beaches of the Maldives and a luxurious holiday, you should travel from Male to more remote islands. A night in an overwater bungalow costs $200 and higher.

Tourists usually avoid walking on the streets of Male at night. It is also worth remembering that the Maldives is a Muslim country.
