Review & FAQ:

On the eastern side of the island of Malé, Artificial Beach Male is a favorite of the locals, as it’s the only swimmable beach in the capital city of Malé. This is made possible because of the breakwater that protects the beach. Guests will find a limited number of travelers here in comparison to locals, and revealing swimwear such as speedos and bikinis are prohibited. This beautiful beach has become more than just a place for relaxation and leisure swimming. It is starting to become a hub for entertaining cultural activities like parades, carnivals, and live music. Travelers can catch a sunset followed by a bite to eat at Breakwater, Dinemore, or Oxygen Café.
