Every Maldives area, in one index

The Maldives' largest reclaimed island and a fully planned modern township beside the airport. Hulhumalé is the default choice for families and expatriates: wide grid streets, newer apartment blocks with lifts and parking, schools, hospitals and beachfront promenades. Phase 1 is established and walkable; Phase 2 is the fast-growing frontier where most new towers and master-planned projects are rising.

The largest and most densely built ward of the capital. Maafannu mixes commercial frontage, the main harbour and tightly packed residential blocks. Rentals here trade space for centrality — you're minutes from offices, markets and ferries, ideal for tenants who want to be in the middle of everything.

The capital's established north-east ward, home to many government offices, embassies and older prestige addresses. Henveiru tends toward longer-term, professional tenants and carries some of Malé's more sought-after residential streets.

A busy mixed-use ward at the heart of the island — markets, shops and apartments layered together. Machchangolhi suits tenants who prioritise being close to commerce and transport over quiet surroundings.

A central, primarily residential ward wrapped around schools, the national stadium and clinics. Galolhu is a steady, family-oriented part of the capital with consistent rental demand and good day-to-day amenities within walking distance.

A greener, lower-rise island suburb a short public ferry from Malé. Villingili offers a calmer pace, more open space and beach access while keeping the capital within easy reach — popular with those who want breathing room without leaving Greater Malé.

Central Malé addresses that span multiple wards — the most connected, amenity-dense part of the country, where convenience and walkability command a premium.

The airport island — limited residential stock, mostly tied to aviation and hospitality. Listings here are niche and worth watching for staff accommodation or transit-oriented stays.

The southern urban hub (Hithadhoo, Maradhoo, Feydhoo and more) and the Maldives' second city. Addu offers noticeably more land and house options than the capital, with a relaxed atoll-city character and its own commercial centre.

A unique single-island city in the far south with freshwater lakes and fertile land. Property here is more spacious and ground-oriented than Greater Malé, appealing to those wanting a self-contained island-city lifestyle.
