Hulhumalé Island Guide

Hulhumalé is a local island in Kaafu Atoll, and it is the reclaimed island beside the international airport. Stay in a guesthouse, eat in town, and use the bikini beach the island designates. Alcohol is not sold here. The useful comparison is a resort nearby only if you want a private beach and a house reef with a higher rate.

Getting around: The island is walkable. Day trips and dives leave from the harbor. Confirm the public ferry or speedboat before you count on a same-day connection from Malé.
