North Male Atoll, The Maldives

Northern Malé is one of the mostly frequented touristic islands thanks to its proximity to Malé's airport. The archipelago is composed of many famous islands, such as of Club Med, or Kurumba, the first hotel of the Maldives, as well as the beautiful One & Only Reethi Rah resort and the astonishing Huvafen Fushi, a hotel at the cutting edge of technology. Baros is also worth a mention, a beautiful and refined island hotel with an unobstructed view, or the very comfortable Meeru, which is one of the liveliest islands.

We were not able to try out Banyan Tree or Angsana: the management refused our visit upon the request...

We invite you to dream while reading through the descriptions of this beautiful place, and who knows?...it may become a reality!

pros

Visit North Male Atoll

  • To see

    You can certainly visit another island-hotel than your own, or even a desert island and an island village. If you have time to go back to Malé before taking your return plane, do not hesitate to go! The atmosphere is special, and it is interesting to discover the Maldivian architecture, as each little island is actually just a hotel and its lush vegetation it is nice to experience some Maldivian civilisation. You can also discover the Friday Mosque, the Presidential Palace, the Islamic Centre, Park Sultan and the National Museum. Also not to be missed is the fish market and the local market which have an atmosphere of their own.

    To do

    Once you get to your island, it might seem that there is not a lot to do, though there are several different activities such as diving, snorkeling, water sports and land sports. Feel free to enjoy a massage in the spa, which is very professionally done. You can also go fishing in the daytime and at night. As well as this, the hotel will serve you a barbecue on a desert island and you can visit a local island and another island hotel.

    To think about

    Do not forget to take your camera along with you in the hydroplane. The view is magnificent. The atolls and the islands exude an unforgettable magic!
  • To avoid

    Even though violent storms are rare in the Maldives, it is advisable to avoid the monsoon season, from May to November.

    To try

    The cuisine in the Maldives is both local and international with lots of seafood and fish. Fruits are also numerous.

    To bring back

    The Maldivian crafts show a certain taste for art and many objects are exhibited. You can buy some of them in the shops, as well as other things such as wooden sculptures or stone coral. Coral jewellery is also particularly fine. For those who want to bring some sand home with them, do not hesitate, but on reasonable scale, of course!
