Maldives
Someday we will visit Malé or begin to dream about going there! However, for now its not on our radar. Let us know in the comments if you think that should change!

Malé

Malé (މާލ), pronounced Mah-lay, is the capital of Maldives. The city occupies the entire islet of Malé at the southern rim of North Male Atoll.

Although Malé is geographically located in Kaafu Atoll, administratively it is not considered part of it. The central part of the city is formed by the island of Malé. Three more islands form part of the city. A commercial harbour is located on the central island and serves as the heart of all commercial activities in the country.

The whole island group, the Maldives, is named after its capital. The word "Maldives" means "the islands (dives) of Malé".
