Small market near fish market
Apr 2022 • Couples
Relatively small market located almost next to the fish market. Good place to get a feel for the kind of vegetables and spices used by the Maldavians.

Worth visiting to see fresh local and imported produce.
Aug 2021 • Friends
A relatively small market mostly selling fresh produce (veggies, betel leaves and nuts, bananas, papayas, coconuts) and there are a few stalls with candies, coconut oil and other local specialities. It is - like Male in general - not relly visited by tourists (I was there on a Sunday at noon). Sellers were either indifferent or friendly but never pushy, after asking they agreed to take photos with them. Most of them could speak more or less English. 2 small bananas: 10 rufiyaa; a cup of coffee: 15 rufiyaa; small bag of sea almonds: 75 rufiyaa; coconut-honey candy: 25 rufiyaa.

Nice local market with fresh fruits
Dec 2020
Amazing, lots of fresh and exotic local fruits. I really liked it, because this how you can experience the local life, if you go to be between locals. They were also nice and gave me some to taste some stuff, not only fruits but also a delicious dessert which was wrapped in banana leaves. It was tasting like chocolate, but it also contained some haselnuts probably, and it was made from cocoa. I bought some of those.

Fresh
Aug 2020
The local market boasts of indigenous fruits and vegetables grown in the Maldives. All vendors are locals stationed at small stalls. Everything looks fresh and so colorful. It can get very crowded and cause a little discomfort as people don’t wait for their turn and come in between. But it’s an experience !!!

Colourful market
Mar 2020 • Couples
We visited this market along the sea front. I was fascinated by the colourful offering within the market, fruits and vegetables are plentiful here. Many locals frequent the market and the place is busting with activities. The colours are simply awesome for pictures, symbolic of the colourful Male city has to offer.
