Where Local Opportunity Meets Exceptional Potential

The Republic of Maldives is a strategically located island nation in the Indian Ocean, southwest of India and Sri Lanka. Comprising over 1,190 islands grouped into 26 natural atolls, the country is globally recognized for its pristine environment, high-end tourism market, and growing appeal as a foreign direct investment (FDI) destination.

With a population of approximately 530,000, nearly half residing in the capital Malé, and over 200,000 expatriates, the Maldives offers a dynamic and increasingly globalized business environment. Only 188 islands are inhabited, and around 175 have been developed into resorts—leaving significant untapped potential for development in tourism, infrastructure, energy, logistics, transportation, healthcare, tech and more.

Why the Maldives? A Strategic Position to Growth

Situated at the crossroads of international shipping lanes, the Maldives serves as a vital maritime hub connecting East and West. Key infrastructure includes three commercial seaports, multiple international and regional airports—including Velana International Airport—and the world’s largest seaplane fleet, enhancing island-to-island access. This connectivity supports robust growth in tourism, logistics, trade, and aviation services.
