Day Trip to Villimale

Experience the serene side of Malé with a day trip to Villimale, a small island near the capital. Departing from the jetty at 2 pm, a ferry will swiftly transport you to this picturesque island in just 15 minutes. Contrasting with the hustle and bustle of Malé, Villimale offers a tranquil setting for exploration.

Embark on a leisurely one-hour walk around the island, taking in the charm of its streets. Meet with members of Save the Beach, a local NGO dedicated to environmental preservation, and gain insights into their initiatives and the community's environmental consciousness.

Conclude the tour with a visit to a beachside café for a delightful hedika, a traditional snack comprising small pastries served with tea. As the day draws to a close, relish a spectacular natural sunset from the serenity of Villimale before boarding the ferry back to Malé, arriving around 6 pm.

Complementing the experience, pickup services are available from hotels in Malé and Hulhumale for an additional fee of 10 USD per person, payable in cash on the day of the tour. Guests staying outside these areas can inquire about pickup options, with tailored arrangements and pricing provided by the local operator.
