With so much to do in the Maldives, you will find yourself trying to fit everything onto your itinerary. Pick the activities you most want to try, and give yourself time to relax when in paradise.
It is no surprise that a majority of time spent in the Maldives will be spent by the water, as the beautiful beaches and turquoise waters are beyond compare. Watersport enthusiasts will find plenty to do, most resorts in the Maldives offer a host of watersports. You can try more challenging activities like surfing, waterskiing, and windsurfing, or alternatively, opt for things like banana boating and jet skiing which may be a bit easier to master.
Your fun doesn't have to be only on the water, enjoy the beautiful world underwater as well. There are many popular dive sites all across the Maldives, including the sites of some shipwrecks. These waters are known for their vivid and vibrant marine life, making it a favorite diving destination. There are dives for those of various skill levels, and if you are a beginner don't worry; there are plenty of diving schools that will provide you with the skills you need for your adventure.
Malé is the capital of the Maldives, and not surprisingly the business and culture hub of the country. The small island is packed to the brim with locals, going about with their day to day lives. Make your way to the island to witness their culture, as well as the many grand historical and religious sites on the island. Unlike the resorts, this main island is quite conservative, so guests are advised to cover up when visiting these Malé attractions.
While many of the Islands that make up the Maldives are uninhabited, and many of the others are home to just one private island resort such as Kuramathi Maldives, there are a few inhabited islands that are home to small communities of people. While some visitors will enjoy spending their entire vacation close to their paradise villa, island hopping is a good opportunity for those who want to see more of the country. You can ask your hotel if they will provide you with the boat facilities for this, or look for Maldives all-inclusive packages that include these tours.
Like many of the world's best tourist destinations, you will have no difficulty finding good food in the Maldives. For a totally novel experience, however, visit one of the underwater restaurants in the country. These beautiful restaurants with schools of fish watching guests as they dine create an amazing ambiance, but these restaurants are quite exclusive and will generally require a reservation made well beforehand.
The island resorts are virtually a slice of paradise, and they thus create settings for a perfect romantic evening by the beach. Many of the major resorts cater to those seeking romance and will set up a private dining experience for you. Enjoy a delicious meal with your loved one, under the starry sky and with the calming sounds of the ocean around you. The Maldives is a great spot for honeymooners, and couples looking to reignite their flame.
How better to indulge when it the Maldives than to treat yourself to a relaxing day at the spa. Again, this is a facility you will find at many of the best Maldives resorts. A calming massage to relax your body, or a spa treatment to soothe your mind, whatever you choose you will return home feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
