Flights to Maldives land at Malé International Airport which is located on Hulhulé Island and within easy reach of the capital Malé. Malé takes up the entire islet of Malé and is the archipelago's largest city. Although the majority of visitors pass quickly through the city on their way to other islands it does have attractions to offer tourists who wish to spend a couple of days here. Narrow streets are lined with colourful houses and the islet has a family-friendly artificial beach. It's worth taking the short Whale Submarine trip to get a view of the underwater life of the Indian Ocean. Things to do in the Maldives:

• Have a go at the main outdoor activity - scuba diving
• Find some secret surfing spots in the Southern Atolls
• Really experience local life by finding a guest house on one of the smaller islands
• Explore the Maldives' history and culture at the Malé National Museum
• Simply laze around on palm-fringed beaches such as Fulhadhoo

Most accommodation in the Maldives consists of luxurious all-inclusive resorts, often with their own private beaches, spas, sporting facilities and adventure activities. The smaller, independent guest house is a fast growing sector and an online search for a hotel in Maldives will reveal some excellent bargains. The capital city also has a good choice of hotels, ideal for a couple of days when your cheap flights to Maldives arrive.

Unfortunately there is no option for car hire Maldives. When flights to Maldives arrive your onward journey will be made by taxi, hotel shuttle, boat taxi or sea plane.
