5 things to do in Maldives – let your adventurous spirit lead you

The Maldives is as breathtaking as it gets with sparkling island escapes and a whole host of leisure activities to prepare for. Herein is a list of 5 pastimes that must be given a go.

1

Go scuba diving 

Diving is one of the most sought-after activities among travellers to the Maldives and should certainly be right at the top of your Things To Do list. Most resorts in the archipelago have their own dive centres with PADI-certified professionals to guide you on your excursion underwater. Enjoy the view of life underwater and identify various species of marine life that fill the ocean with wonder. What's more, a few island resorts also offer opportunities for safe diving for kids as well.

Romantic sunset cruises and other boat excursions

When in Maldives, the best way to enjoy the most magical sunset in the world is to sail across the calm waters in the golden glow of the evening. Most resorts offer snacks and champagne on the boat to be enjoyed while treating your eyes to the sight of the sky changing into colours of light orange and dusky pink. One experience you shouldn't miss out on is a ride on a traditional Maldivian boat called a dhoni to watch the dolphins, or even fish in traditional Maldivian style.

Surf the deep blue

It goes without saying that the Maldives is an incredible hub for all your water sporting enthusiasts keen on taking on the challenges and pleasures of the archipelago. Featuring prominently is the sport of diving and for some of the best outings, consider spending time at Baa Atoll’s Thulusdhoo Islands. For a fee amounting to USD 130 per head (2 hours), one can look forward to manoeuvring one’s surfboard and reading yourself for what the waves have in store for you. Learn to remain composed and balanced at all times so that you make the most of this opportunity.

Reside at an overwater bungalow

Within these spacious and well-appointed abodes, one’s every whim will be attended to where you will find yourself with clear views of the ocean and lush greenery encircling your private island. Noted for affording cosy and comfortable stays, guests can opt to remain indoors or make a journey to the nearby beach where the hours can be whiled away basking in the glorious sunshine with a book in hand or frolicking in turquoise seas.

5

Schedule a private dining experience

Given the numerous backdrops for which the Maldives is renowned for, one need not fret when it comes to treating that special someone to a gourmet masterclass. As one of the best things to do in Maldives, private dining will pave the way for you to get creative and perhaps, help you muster up the courage to pop the question. In fact, should you have selected Grand Park Kodhipparu Maldives, then you are in for an absolute treat. This is because you can choose your own villa, head out to the beach or prep on a sandbank with a bottle of champagne as part of a private dining outing.
