Male is the Maldives’ capital and sits within North Male Atoll, acting as the gateway to the country’s resort islands. It is one of the most densely populated cities in the world, and its markets, mosques and busy streets are a real contrast to the calm of the atolls beyond. Most travellers pass through briefly on their way to a resort, but even a short stop is worth it for a glimpse of everyday Maldivian life.
