Information about the island

Hulhumalé is an artificially created island located northeast of the capital island of Malé. Hulhumalé is connected to the airport island of Hulhulé by road. This in turn has been connected to the capital Malé via the Sinamalé Bridge since 2018. The island of Hulhumalé was filled in to create space for the inhabitants, administration and industry of the Maldives, as the capital island of Malé has reached the end of its development potential. Malé is the most densely populated city in the world with 43 800 inhabitants per square kilometer. This does not include the inhabitants of Hulhumalé. In the meantime, the second phase expansion project has already begun in Hulhumalé in order to create even more opportunities and also to further develop tourism for the Maldives.

There are several sights in the capital Malé that are well worth a visit. Among other things, you can follow the development of the Maldives in the National Museum or visit the President’s residence. But that’s not all, the underwater world around Hulhumalé and Malé can also be explored, for example on a snorkeling or diving trip. If you don’t want to get wet here, you can marvel at the fascinating underwater world on a submarine trip.

In any case, a visit to the capital island of Malé and the associated island of Hulhumalé is well worthwhile.
