Maale is one of the regions of the Maldives, which includes the capital city of Malé and its surrounding areas. The region is located on the Malé Atoll, which consists of two main parts – North Malé Atoll and South Malé Atoll. Malé, the political, cultural and economic centre of the Maldives, is one of the smallest cities in the world, but also very densely populated.
The Maale region is particularly known for its role as an administrative, tourist and commercial centre. Despite being small, Malé offers tourists many attractions, such as the Hukuru Miskiy Mosque, the Presidential Palace, the National Museum of the Maldives and traditional markets and shops. The surrounding islands in the region, both in the northern and southern parts of the atoll, are known for their beautiful beaches, luxury resorts, coral reefs and numerous tourist attractions, attracting travellers from all over the world.
The Maale region is also a key transport hub, with Velana International Airport handling most international flights to the Maldives.
