Top 5 Filming Locations in the Maldives
Malé
You wouldn’t think that the Maldives would have this kind of crowded city. This is Malé, the capital city of the Maldives consists of a central island, an airport island, and four other islands governed by the Malé City Council. If your next film production is looking for an island country landscape, you should consider Malé in it.
Lamuu Atoll
Lamuu Atoll is mostly rimmed by barrier reefs, the broadest of which is topped by islands. There are many islands along its eastern and southern boundaries. The island is filled with palm trees and sandy beaches. “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story ‘ was shot in Lamuu Atoll for their climax scene and turned the island into the planet Scarif.
Sea at Anantara Kihavah Villas
At Anantara Kihavah Villas, from your over-water villa, you can actually head underwater to the restaurant named Sea. The mirrored interior reflects the surrounding Indian Ocean sea life as you dine on European cuisines. A unique romantic date or a fancy dining scene would be great to film in this location.
Gnaviyani Atoll
Another great atoll for filming in the Maldives is Gnaviyani Atoll. Based on the surface, this is the smallest administrative unit in the Maldives. That long white sandy beach would look great in any film production. If used in the most creative way, you can turn this island into a stranded island or maybe another planet like “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” did.
Baa Atoll
Baa atoll consists of two roughly circular sub-atolls, separated by the narrow Kudarikilu Kandu channel. You can find countless sceneries of the underwater world here, from coral reefs to manta rays and dolphins. If your next film is related to any underwater landscape, Baa Atoll is the best choice for that.
