To be sure, the sunny islands of the Maldives offer many avenues for recreation during the day. Here is a list of some nighttime activities that could keep you night-owls entertained after dark.
Known for unique inventions to do with the sea, underwater night clubs are a huge part of what one could include in their nightlife while on vacation in the Maldives. With an impressive lineup of globally acclaimed artists laying out the grooviest beats, you can dance away to the rhythm of the music while the marine life swimming all around you will be sure keep you enthralled. Friends, music, great cocktails and the sea; what more could you possibly want on a night-out of partying?
It is definitely not usual to witness several phenomenal beach parties happening along the pristine coastlines while on vacation here. Many a Maldives resort hotel may even host a beach party or two themselves. You can without a doubt expect spectacular ocean views, phenomenal music and ambiance, as well as some refreshing, thirst-quenching drinks at these beach parties.
If you are travelling to the Maldives with your significant other, or if you are on your honeymoon, a custom designed dining experience could be the perfectly romantic way to surprise and pamper your better half. Offered by many luxury resorts such as the Anantara Veli Maldives Resort, these custom designed dining experiences are intimate, private and completely unique. Be it a secluded table on the beach, beneath which both of you can sink your toes in the soft sand, while enjoying a delectable meal, or a sumptuous spread atop a wooden deck built right over the ocean, these divine dining moments are sure to create splendid memories to last you a lifetime.
In the mood for a peaceful and private evening? Take a leisurely stroll along the sands with your partner, family, friends or loved ones. Maldives holds a high reputation for its pristine and safe beaches, and the crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean, prove to be a stunning spectacle even at night. Start your evening walk at sunset in order to witness the fiery golden reds of the setting sun kiss the ocean, making for a spectacular view. Refresh yourself with the occasional dip of your feet into the water; rest your feet with a short break on the powdery sands of the beach; or pick up a few colorful sea shells along the way to take home as souvenirs of a night beautifully enjoyed in Maldives.
While dining on the beach is a must-try when in Maldives, dining under the sea is a unique concept that has been gaining popularity rapidly. Restaurants built completely under the sea with floor to ceiling glass walls gift diners with an uninhibited view into the treasures of the deep blue. Experience a completely different ambiance and other-worldly feeling while you take a flight of stairs and descend below sea level to your table. Take a seat next to a full-length glass wall and observe the myriad of vibrant marine life that thrives peacefully in its natural habitat. Don't be too surprised by the occasional visit from a curious shark or sting-ray as you enjoy your meal!
