The following airlines operate regular services between Jaisalmer and Male. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit the Maldives is generally from November to April. This is the dry season, with lower humidity and sunny skies, ideal for water activities and exploring the islands.

Getting from the airport to Male

Velana International Airport (MLE) is located on Hulhule Island, near Male. The most common way to get to Male or other islands is by speedboat or ferry, costing approximately $10-$50 depending on the distance.

Things to do in Male

Visit Male, the capital city, to experience the local culture and see historical sites like the Grand Friday Mosque. Explore the underwater world by snorkelling or scuba diving in the vibrant coral reefs. Indulge in a relaxing spa treatment at one of the many luxurious resorts. Take a sunset cruise to spot dolphins and enjoy the stunning Maldivian sunset.

Food to try

Try Garudhiya, a fragrant fish soup served with rice, lime, and chilli. Sample Hedhikaa, Maldivian snacks, often served with black tea, available at local cafes.

Local tips

Remember that the Maldives is a Muslim country, and while tourist resorts are quite liberal, you should dress modestly when visiting local islands. Bargaining is not common practice, especially in resorts and established shops.
