Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Male

    You'll land at Velana International Airport and head to your transit hotel in Male for the night. The capital has densely packed streets with coral architecture throughout, so if you have time before settling in, walking around gives you a real sense of local life here. It's worth poking around before you ferry out tomorrow.

    • Explore Velana International Airport and its unique water taxi boarding system
    • Wander through Male's narrow streets and traditional neighborhoods
