Malé

A guesthouse in Malé, and the city around it.

Pollina sits on Violet Hingun in Henveiru. Tea, the harbour, and the bridge to Velana Airport are close. The guesthouse does not run those boats. It will tell you how they work.

Speedboats moored along the Malé harbour promenade. — The usual way an island day begins.

The harbour

Public ferries and private speedboats leave from the waterfront. A resort transfer, a local island, or an afternoon on the water usually starts here. Ask the house which quay matches the day you want.

The bridge

Velana International Airport is on Hulhulé, across the Sinamalé Bridge. A taxi is the ordinary way. Add an airport taxi when you book if you want the house to arrange the car.

The neighbourhood

The house has a café on the terrace. Short eats, pharmacies, and the evening walk sit around it. There is no private beach at the end of Violet Hingun. The city is the amenity.

Malé from above at sunset, the compact capital in the lagoon. — The capital, from above. Pollina sits in Henveiru, on the city side of the harbour.

Around the house

The useful city, not a resort map.

Tap a pin. Distances are a walk or a short taxi. The house does not run the boats.

Getting here

From Velana International Airport to Violet Hingun.

Velana (MLE) sits on Hulhulé. Pollina is in Henveiru, Malé, across the Sinamalé Bridge. A city taxi is the ordinary way: give the driver H. Rangali, Violet Hingun 20122. In usual traffic the ride is about fifteen to twenty-five minutes. Add an airport taxi when you book if you want the house to arrange the car one way.

There is no seaplane dock at the house, and no private speedboat transfer of our own. Island days still start at the public harbour. If you land late, stay the night in the capital and take the first boat in the morning.
