Malé, Maldives

Male, the capital of the Maldives, is the gateway to this enchanting, low-lying archipelago scattered across the equator. Remotely situated some 620 miles southwest of India and Sri Lanka and consisting of 26 atolls covering approximately 115 square miles, Asia’s smallest country is a tropical paradise full of white-sand beaches, swaying palm trees and tranquil lagoons teeming with birdlife. Offshore, colorful reef fish, sea turtles and other marine life mingle among the vibrant coral gardens, making the Maldives a premier destination for curious divers and snorkelers.
