Hulhumalé is an artificial island in the Maldives built to relieve the population pressure on the capital city of Male', located in the north-eastern part of the North Male' Atoll. The modernly planned city is connected to the Male International Airport by a bridge and serves both residential and tourist functions, with wide streets, residential areas and commercial facilities.
Hulu Male is designed as a 'sustainable city' with parks, bicycle paths and a sewage system. Its beaches retain the Maldives' signature white sand and turquoise sea, and the surrounding dive sites and resorts offer a wealth of water activities for visitors. The city is designed to be at a higher elevation to counter the threat of sea level rise.
Hulu Male is a 10-minute drive from Velana International Airport. With both a local living atmosphere and tourist services, it is a unique destination for experiencing the urban culture and natural beauty of the Maldives.
Sevan is a small town in the Armenian province of Gegharkunik, located in the eastern part of the country on the shores of Lake Sevan, about 66 kilometers from the capital city of Yerevan.
