Malé, Maldives Cruise Shuttles

Nestled between the Arabian and Laccadive Seas, the Maldives island of Malé is an extraordinary hideaway perfect for taking a break from the day’s hustle. Connected to several other isles by road and ferry, cruise goers arriving by boat will have an array of adventures to seek - the nearest docking station from Malé is the Hulhumale Cruise Terminal, located two islands from Malé but connected by the scenic Mythili Magu Road. Get there by booking a reliable transfer ahead of time, whether that means enjoying the comfort of private options like simple sedans perfect for romantic drives along the coastline or spacious SUVs ideal for enjoying unbothered explorations with the family. Meet-and-greet services who can make things quickest include the casual commitment-free drop offs of a taxi as well as local personal drivers who know the joys of going slow.

Of all the interconnected Maldives islands, Malé is by far the most interesting, providing a diverse cluster of exhibits and history along its northern coastline. In the morning, walk through the historic Fish Market for views of daily merchant life, afterward walking past Theemuge Palace, a historic building used for various purposes including the presidential quarters and Maldives Supreme Court. Watch passerby from Republic Square as the afternoon heats up, sitting beneath shaded palms while looking out at busy waters. Interesting nearby museums can be discovered by walking along the Ibrahimee Magu Urban Greenbelt, which leads to Sultan Park’s many outdoor gardens and plazas, among the buzz the National Museum’s vast cultural exhibits that celebrate a local combination of Buddhism and Islam, across Sultan Park’s central lawn even more culture at the National Library & Art Gallery’s traditional Maldives architecture and local works.
