Maldives real estate, reported from the ground: developments, developers, prices, rules, and the homes behind them.
audience
Everything the desk has published under “tenants”.
Developments
Three en-suites on a school morning, a laundry room that keeps the washing out of sight, a lobby that knows who comes and goes, and a generator for the evening the power drops. How a household runs a week in Apollo's Hulhumalé building.
Developments
Air that moves through the flat, glass that runs from floor to ceiling on the corners, porcelain underfoot and walnut in the kitchen. The materials and decisions that make Apollo's Hulhumalé building a pleasure to live in.
Developments
The same building, priced two ways: three-bedrooms at MVR 38,000 to 45,000 or USD 2,300, a 1,742 square-foot four-bedroom corner at USD 2,600. Rent per square foot, what the building includes, what costs extra, and how to choose.
Developments
A gym on the roof at dawn, a garden between the towers for the children after school, shops in the building, and an infinity pool over the lagoons to end the day. How a household lives at Fitron.
Developments
Two ten-storey towers named after the beefwood tree, joined by a garden, with an infinity pool on the roof that looks out over the lagoons. The idea behind Fitron, and how it shows in the building.
Developments
A top-floor 2+1 of 1,000 square feet listed through Binga at USD 2,400 a month, in a two-tower building with a rooftop infinity pool, a rooftop gym, a garden, a playground and retail floors. What is included, and what to ask.
Developments
A school run on foot, a balcony over Buruzu Magu or a quiet room at the back, and a city where everything is close. The day the developer has designed for families in Machangoalhi, ahead of a handover planned for late 2027 to early 2028.
Developments
A new residential building in Machangoalhi, Malé, scheduled to hand over from late 2027: balconies over Buruzu Magu at the front, quieter rooms at the back, and a penthouse with views across the skyline. What the design promises tenants.
Developments
Three-bedroom flats on Buruzu Magu, a lobby with 24-hour security and CCTV, two lifts and a school a short walk away. What the building will offer tenants from its planned 2027–28 handover, how Malé rents are banded, and how to plan ahead.
Developments
Cooking behind a closed door, laundry that stays in its own room, a wall that keeps the neighbours' evening to themselves. How an ordinary day runs in a flat at Aira, Hulhumalé, and who it suits.
Developments
Aira's beauty is in the details most buildings forget: closed kitchens, separate laundries, insulated party walls, a private threshold at the front door. A look at the design of the two-block Hulhumalé development.
Developments
A furnished three-bedroom listed at $3,200 a month, a 2+1 that was listed at $2,000 in March, and a design built around the things that go wrong in flats. The value case for renting at Aira, Hulhumalé.
Developments
What a mixed-use development of 279 homes means for a business that trades, works or houses staff there: the day as a business tenant would live it, and the questions to settle first.
Developments
Three blocks, fourteen floors and 279 homes, planned as a mixed-use hub in Hulhumalé. What the design offers a business looking for premises or staff housing, and what the desk has still to verify.
Developments
A mixed-use development of 279 homes in Hulhumalé, furnished flats suited to staff housing, and a three-bedroom listed at $2,300 a month in April 2026. What the desk knows about value for business tenants, and what to ask before signing.
Developments
Lengths in a 22-metre pool before work, a kitchen built for cooking, a balcony that faces the ocean at dusk. What an ordinary day looks like in Aqua Vita, and who it suits.
Developments
A single fourteen-floor tower on the ocean edge of Hulhumalé, planned so every room faces the water. What the design sets out to do, and what the homes let through Binga have shown.
Developments
Sea-facing two- and three-bedroom flats, a club house with a 22-metre pool and gym, and a furnished 2+1 listed at $1,800 a month in August 2026. The value case for renting at Aqua Vita, and how to find a home there.
