Boating in Malé

Around Malé, the North Malé Atoll is a maze of reefs, resort islands and sandbanks, all within a short boat ride of the capital. A typical day combines snorkelling on a reef, a picnic on a sandbank and perhaps a visit to a local island.

Where to go by boat

  • Banana Reef

    One of the first dive sites discovered in the Maldives, now a protected marine area.

  • Sandbanks

    Strips of white sand in the lagoons, perfect for a picnic and a swim.

  • Manta Point

    Reef in North Malé Atoll where manta rays gather in season.

  • Maafushi

    Local island in South Malé Atoll, a popular base for excursions.

Tip: The north-east monsoon, roughly December to April, brings the driest and calmest weather, while May to October is windier with squalls; sandbanks have no shade, so bring sun protection and water.
