About Villimale'
Villingili, commonly known as Vilimalé, is a small island located just southwest of Malé City in the Maldives. Once a quiet fishing village, it is now part of the Malé City administrative area, connected to the capital by a short ferry ride. Unlike the crowded streets of Malé, Vilimalé offers a slower pace of life, with shaded lanes, sandy beaches, and a relaxed atmosphere. The island is surrounded by a shallow lagoon and fringing coral reef, home to diverse marine life, including parrotfish, sea cucumbers, and juvenile reef sharks. Coconut palms and native shrubs line the coast, creating a green and breezy setting. Vilimalé has a unique identity as both a residential island and a popular weekend escape for Malé residents. It is also known for pioneering local conservation efforts, including community-led reef protection and awareness programs, making it a model for sustainable island living in an urban context.
