Mistakes to Avoid in the Maldives - Be a smart and savvy visitor in the Maldives!

Yes, the Maldives is identified as a destination of choice for honeymooners with remote islands, romantic sunsets, and luxurious resorts. But the Maldives also has much to offer a group of friends taking time off for a short vacation or a special occasion in a family. Most resorts are well experienced in providing an exciting barbecue at the beach or dining at a sandbank etc., experiences well enjoyed by visitors using Maldives villas apart from the exciting water sports and exploring underwater life in the Maldives.

Beyond the therapeutic effects of being surrounded by the ocean and vistas of nature that surround them at the chosen villas, most of the resorts are equipped with Spa facilities to champion restoration and rejuvenation for visitors as they take time away from the daily stressors to unwind and relax in the Maldives. These are nourishing and much-needed rituals often neglected by guests. Don’t fail to indulge in a spa treatment of your choice as done by guests at resorts like Grand Park Kodhipparu Maldives to be pampered by the experience from an award-winning spa.

The Maldives has a rich history as a nation on the maritime trading routes of the Indian Ocean, gaining a lot of influences from neighbouring visitors who crossed their shores such as people from India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia as well as a few African and Arabian nations which endowed them with a distinct Maldivian culture over the centuries.

These can be witnessed in their dance forms and the vibrant cuisine. A visit to an inhabited island like Male Island is an ideal way to experience the local Maldivians with their warm and hospitable nature and way of living. Many of them speak English making your interactions engaging. A visit to their museum and marketplaces is also possible during such a visit.

The essence of satisfaction in using the Maldives Resorts is interlinked with its amazing over-water villas offering beautiful vistas of water as you wake up and throughout the day. Therefore, not experiencing them on your visit to the Maldives is cutting off the epitome of luxury of being almost one-to-one with the beauty of the Indian Ocean on this paradisical island.

As the resort islands of the Maldives lie just across the equator, the sun’s rays are exceptionally fierce. A waterproof sunscreen is a must to protect your skin from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun as most parts of the day will be spent outdoors. As you would be embarking on underwater activities like snorkelling and scuba diving it is mandatory that your sunscreen is also reef-safe. Most luxury resorts are concerned about the harmful effects of products which are not reef-safe. Purchasing them in the Maldives will be more expensive than bringing them over with you.
