The MALDIVES You Never SEE! | We Explored MALE
Most people picture private villas, overwater bungalows, and $1,000 nights when they think of the Maldives… but that’s only part of the story.
In this vlog, we show you what it’s like to explore the local side of the Maldives — specifically Male City and Hulhumale, without stepping foot in a resort (yet! that's for next week's video...)
From local markets and stingray sightings to historic parks, beaches, and budget-friendly food, we were surprised by how much the capital island had to offer.
