The Capital - Malé
The capital island, Malé (pronounced: "Maa-lay"), with a population of about 100,000 is the commercial and political hub of the Maldives. It is home to all government ministries and departments, all of the larger companies, banks, communications and the key institutions that control the nation's economic and social life.
Malé consists of five districts or wards; four on the island of Malé, a fifth on Vilingili, the island to the west of Malé, just 10 minutes away by boat. The Malé International Airport is on Hulhule Island a couple of miles to the north east of Malé.
