 The landing stage for government members in Male by Fam.Rauca, 4 more photos The Capital of Maldives, Male, is a small island that lies in the North-Male-Atoll. In the year 1900, the city had 2000 inhabitants, but now, 75000 people live here. The architecture of the city is modern and the beautiful buildings are visible far over the sea. The island is shared into four districts: Henveiru, Maafannu, Galohu, and Machchangolhi. The new Islamic Centre with its golden dome and its slim Minaret is a very important edifice in the city. A very known and valuable building of Male is the old Mosque. The old cemetery with its important graves and commemorative plaques is an interesting objective in Male. The fish market, the fruit market, the Sultan Park, the Palace of the president, and many other important edifices are to be seeing in the city. We walked on the Male’s streets, and we admired the beauty and the charm of the Asiatic metropolis in a summer evening, waiting the boat to the airport. We are overjoyed and happy to visit this city.

 :) by sylina He is a nice guy from Sri Lanka. I felt a bit guilty that I could not remember his name. We lived on the other side of the island. But he kindly let me get in the empty house above the water... which is much more expensive than our room :) That's why I could take the pic below ;) Thanks him and I will remember his nice smile forever...

 sunsets by call_me_rhia It doesn't matter where you are i the maldives... sunsets are always to die for. And every night they are differnt - significantly different. sometimes they are mostly orange and gold, other times the sky turns red like blood, and some more times you can see the whole palette of colours - from yellow to black - with orange, red and blue thrown in.

Officially the Maldives has no such place as off the beaten path. You would just fall into the ocean and be carried away by the tide. Get back on that sunlounger and get a beer now! You are not going anywhere for a week or two. It's the law - of nature. Click on the picture, 5 great views of the islands! Leave a Comment

 You could sit here all day... by MOSSETT Just strolling round the Island in your bare feet with the hot sun beating on you is lovely. Walking round the Island takes about an hour and you can just stop off at the bar for a cold drink or a quick swim in the shallow lagoon. Afternoons are so relaxing on Sun Island ! Leave a Comment

As already said, Velidhu island is small, but it has a very rich flora and fauna. Just enter the vegetation bushes and approach the luxuriant mangroves: if you pay attention, you'll discover a little universe of animals, such as the big lizard of the photo (sorry, I don't know its scientific name). Other animals you may encounter are for example jeckos, herons and enormous diurnal bats. Leave a Comment

by Conflictrealms One of the great things about the Maldives is how brave the sealife creatures are. If you just stand on one of the jettys and peer into the water, especially in the evening time. You will see a vast array of creatures from all different varieties of fish, reef sharks, and rays. I found the best place to view these were on the Water Bungalows of the island Leave a Comment

 The Water Bungalow side of Sun Island by Conflictrealms While probably not much of a suprise. You will find that one of the best activities is just walking down the beaches. You can walk around the whole of sun Island in maybe an hour. Don't worry about finding it all too 'samey'...The beaches atround Sun Island are so varied, with one side being all secluded, quiet, and corally waters, with the other side being more busier, sun umbrellas etc. You'll be sure to capture loads of fantastic photos on this walk, so be sure to take your camera!

 sunset at the island by JustinJansen There is real jungle on the island, but you can't get lost, there are no deadly animals, there are good paths. And it's worth to have a look! Some nice lizards and some nice flowers can be found. also loads of banana trees here! Leave a Comment
