Flights to Malé

Travel to/from central Malé

After your flights to Malé International Airport, the island of Malé is only a 10-minute dhoni ride across the Indian Ocean. From the jetty in Malé, walk or take a taxi across town in 20 minutes. Malé island is only 2.5km long and easily explored on foot so stretch your legs after flights land. Malé is a good stepping-off point for destinations further afield – book Malé flights then catch a seaplane, dhoni or speedboat to other atolls across the Maldivian archipelago. Leave enough time for the dhoni ride back to catch return flights from Malé International Airport.

Best of Malé

Flights to Malé International Airport introduce you to a mini-Manhattan of high-rises and a charming old town crammed with painted houses. Visit Malé’s daily fish market and check out ancient stone heads in Malé’s National Museum. Leave Malé behind on a boat trip to Kuda Bandos to spot rays and grey sharks on the reef. Before return flights from Malé, squirrel away duty-free shopping; best value are hand-woven kunaa mats, lacquered boxes and embroidered prayer hats.
