About Hulhumale'
Hulhumalé is a reclaimed island situated in the North Malé Atoll, northeast of the Maldivian capital, Malé. Developed to ease overcrowding in the capital, the island was created in 2004 and has rapidly transformed into a modern urban center. Despite its man-made origins, Hulhumalé features thoughtfully planned green spaces, coastal walkways, and an artificial beach that blends naturally with the surrounding lagoon. Its waters are home to vibrant coral life and occasional sightings of rays and reef fish. The island’s tree-lined streets and parks support a growing urban ecosystem, offering a contrast to the dense cityscape of Malé. Hulhumalé is promoted as a symbol of urban expansion and climate resilience in the Maldives. It houses major public facilities, housing projects, and the country’s first smart city initiatives. With direct road access to Velana International Airport, Hulhumalé is a gateway to the Maldives and a hub of modern island life.
