Property in Hulhumalé

A planned city on reclaimed land next to Velana Airport, with beaches, parks and most of the new apartment towers in the Malé area.

Hulhumalé

Hulhumalé was built on reclaimed land beside the airport island to give the Malé area room to grow. It is laid out on a grid, with wide roads, a long public beach, Central Park and plenty of space between buildings, so it feels calmer and greener than Malé.

Phase 1 is the established part, with completed towers, shops, schools, a hospital and the ferry terminal. Phase 2 is newer and still filling in, with many of the latest developments, land plots and larger homes such as townhouses.

Most new apartments in the region are built here, so there is a wide choice of two- and three-bedroom homes, both to buy and to rent. Families, young couples and people working at the airport or in Malé are the main buyers and tenants.
