Hotels in Male Atoll, Maldives

Male Atoll is the heart of the Maldives, a chain of coral islands in the Indian Ocean with a tropical climate that stays between 80°F and 86°F (27°C to 30°C) year-round. It's famous for its world-class diving at sites like Manta Point and the Giraffe Head reef, where you can spot whale sharks and manta rays. The dry season from November to April offers calm seas for snorkeling and sunset cruises, while the wetter months from May to October bring lower hotel rates and still great conditions for surfing at Thulusdhoo break.
