Why this trip
An airport on its own island and a capital built densely on a few square kilometres: Malé is rarely the destination but rather the point where a Maldives trip begins. For Muslims a stop is worthwhile, because here everyday life and prayer can be seen directly. Sultan Park is a compact piece of green with large trees, at the Rasfannu there is an artificial beach with a jogging path, and in Central Park on Hulhumalé families go for walks in the evening. Sand Bank and Shark Point are excursion destinations in the water, and the Lonuziyaaraiy Park is a retreat.
Divers will find suitable bases with Dive Desk Male, Sea Star Diving or Scubaspa. Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi and Summer Beach Maldives come from the hotel list. The journey from Switzerland takes about 10 to 12 hours, usually with a change, and entry is with a visa on arrival, 30 days, free of charge. Between November and April the weather is best.
Maafushi, Dhigurah, Addu and Baros Island are neighbours. If you land late, it is better to plan the onward journey to the island for the next morning.
