Villingili, administratively known as Villimalé, is an island in the North Male Atoll and is considered the fifth district of Malé City. It lies about two kilometres (1.2 mi) west of Malé island.
The island is reachable via local ferry service that operates 24 hours between Malé and Villimalé. The Thilamalé Bridge, which is scheduled to open in September 2026, will connect Villingili to Malé, Gulhifalhu and Thilafushi.
