Мале — это столица Мальдивской республики, которая расположена в центре архипелага. Территория составляет всего два квадратных километра, из-за чего город не может иметь все, что положено столице. Поэтому крупные предприятия, концерны, и важные государственные объекты, такие например как аэропорт, находятся на соседних островах. Несмотря на маленькие размеры, остров довольно густо населён, поэтому его территорию искусственно расширяют. Сегодня Мале единственный город в стране, который имеет асфальтированные дороги и высотные дома. Но, не смотря на это, город сохранил красоту дикой природы и прелесть белых пляжей с чистой морской водой.
