The Maldives is the kind of place which has something for absolutely EVERYONE… and no, this is not just a cliché catch phrase because it’s actually true! Not a “believer”? Well, read on to get a glimpse of the diverse discoveries that you can enjoy when here.
Underwater Escapades
With colourful coral reefs and rainbow-hued marine life to be found here, snorkelling and diving in Maldives are awe-inspiring to say the least. Stay at a private resort like Adaaran Select Hudhuran Fushi in Kaafu Atoll, which offers a thriving house reef, plus diving lessons, certifications, and access to hotspots like HP Reef and Manta Point. Not a fan of getting wet? Go on a submarine dive instead… same magic, zero splashes!
Sailing to the Horizon
Sunset cruises are a must, especially if your resort offers a private ride on a dhoni (a traditional boat), the perfect romantic moment for couples. Of course, those staying at the best Maldives resorts for families will love dolphin cruises where playful pods sometimes leap and spin beside your boat. You can also try catamaran sailing, go big game fishing or mix things up with sunset fishing and have your catch even cooked for you!
Thrills on the Water
Speed demons can go jet skiing, wakeboarding, or waterskiing, while adrenaline junkies can soar on a flyboard or zip around with a Seabob. If you prefer exhilaration without having to learn a new skill, there are fun tube rides, while surfing, kitesurfing and windsurfing let you ride the waves in style. Of course, for something more laid-back, canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding are perfect, and you get a great cardio workout too!
Island-hopping Adventures
You can experience local culture on islands like Malé, home to the National Museum, Grand Friday Mosque, and lively markets. Many resorts also offer trips to deserted islands where you can enjoy castaway vibes and a BBQ lunch on the beach. For something romantic, a secluded sandbank picnic is hard to beat. Of course, to get an aerial perspective of the many islands, go on a spellbinding photo flight!
