Male Atholhu (Kaafu Atoll)

Male Atholhu, located in the centre of Maldives, is also known as Kaafu Atoll and it is only 6.8 square kilometres in size, yet home to over 130,000 people. It is home to Malé, the heart of the Maldives, as well as a tapestry of islands that collectively tell the story of this nation.

Malé, the bustling capital, Hulhule, the gateway through its airport, Vilingili, a serene sanctuary for those seeking solace, Thulusdhoo, a residential island fostering education and growth, Himmafushi, a commercial hub adorned with local flavour, and Hulhumale, an ambitious artificial island shaping the future, comprise Kaafu Atoll's ensemble. It welcomes visitors to explore its treasures and ancient ruins whisper tales of bygone eras to those interested in history, with the ruins of an ancient mosque dotting Malé Island.
