About North Male Atoll
The closest atoll to the capital island, Male, and featuring some of the most popular island resorts, North Male Atoll has a secluded and relaxed feel. With excellent dive sites, including shipwrecks to explore, there's plenty to see, from white tip and grey sharks to colourful reef fish and barracuda; you can even find some fantastic surf.
Airport Transfer: 20mins
About Maldives
Scattered like glitter in the turquoise Indian Ocean, over a thousand tiny coral islands make up the Maldives, where everyone's an island castaway. Lacy coral reefs, jewel-coloured fishes and talcum powder sands: we promise you'll never see anywhere as beautiful as this.
