Staying at a Maldives island hotel offers the perfect opportunity for you to enjoy the country’s idyllic beaches and exciting water sports. However, if you want to experience local culture as well then a visit to the capital Male is in order and such excursions can be organised when staying at a Maldives resort such as Velassaru Maldives. One of the must visit attractions in Male is undoubtedly the Grand Friday Mosque which dates back to 1656 and which is the country’s largest mosque. Across from the mosque is the Mulee Aage Palace which is worth visiting and so too is the National Museum in Sultan Park which showcases artefacts and collections from the country’s past. Those interested in art can head to the Esjehi Art Gallery, while not to be missed is a chance to take in the hustle and bustle at the Male Fish Market. There is never a dull moment when exploring the city of Male!
