located in the Indian Ocean.
Location : The location of Maldives is unique. The country is located on the Indian Ocean to the south of India's
Lakshadweep Islands. It is located to the west of Sri Lanka and extends up to 823 kilometers. It is basically a group
of islands situated close to the equator. This accounts for the hot and humid climate of the country.
Maldives lies between latitudes 4 degree- 17 North and longitudes 73 degree- 50 East. The islands are located to the
north of the Equator. Out of the 1192 islands, only 200 of them are inhabited. The islands are lowlands and none of
them rise 6' above sea level. In ancient times, the country was a major trade center because it was located on the
marine trade route on the Indian Ocean.
Size of Maldives : Maldives occupies an area, which is slightly more than 1.5 times the size of Washington, D.C. The
country has a total coastline of 644 km the northernmost atoll is located around 110 km south of India's Minicoy Atoll,
480 km southeast of India's Cape Comorin and 649 km west of Sri Lanka. Male, the capital of the country, is located
on the largest island in the Male Atoll. The island measuring nearly 2.5 square kilometers is the largest in the entire
chain.
Weather : Maldives Location accounts for its hot climate. Its location close to the Equator clearly points out to the
sun shining over for most part of the year.
