Maldives's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the murals near Overwater villas and House reefs, in the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that most visitors pass without noticing. Walking is the only way to find them. Look for Male Fish Market — a creative corner that guidebooks consistently overlook.
