Be it a romantic getaway, an adventure with friends or family vacations, the Maldives is a wonderful place for a short break from the hustle and bustle of city life. If you want to know what the Maldives has to offer and why many tourists seem to select this archipelago as a destination, here a few that'll make you want to visit too.
When it comes to getting to your overwater villa in Maldives, the thrill doesn't end with the flight looking like it's going to land in the ocean, instead, it just keeps getting better. Once you've arrived in Male, the main island, instead of a road trip, you'll be taking either a seaplane or a ferry ride to another island on which your resort will be. The representatives of your hotel will be there to pick you upon request. Since these experiences can be quite expensive, you can select a resort that's closer to the main island so that your ride will not cost much.
The natural environment here is focused on the water and beach, unlike most other destinations. If you are travelling with family, the kids are going to find the Maldives quite interesting as they get to snorkel and see the brilliant world underwater. For adults, not only snorkelling but diving is available too! This is an extra special experience as one will be able to swim with the manta rays, reef sharks and all sorts of colourful inhabitants of the ocean. You'll never forget it! How could you forget dolphin watching? Ride a boat into the middle of the sea and have a lovely day with the friendly dolphins and enjoy the beautiful sunset as well.
If what you need is a quiet holiday to really destress, then that's exactly what the Maldives islands offer! Make your booking with resorts offering private villas, The Nautilus Maldives, for example. This means that you have your stretch of private beach as your very own garden which means there is no crowd whatsoever! All you have to do is relax and make use of the rejuvenation opportunities offered to you by the resort and simply give into relaxation.
The best thing about Maldives is that there is so much to do in terms of water activities. If you are the sporty kind, try out your skills on the swells of the Indian Ocean. You can dive or snorkel too. Don't forget the adrenaline pumping jet skiing, kitesurfing and much more. Even if you are not a pro at doing any of it, lessons are always available here. Kids can enjoy club activities and learn more about the ocean and play various games too. Adults can enjoy the bliss of spa treatments and yoga sessions by the ocean. You can even learn to cook a local dish.
For those who relish the flavours of the countries they visit, this archipelago offers some amazing options. The dining experience here is quite exotic with underwater restaurants, overwater restaurants and a variety of cuisine to keep guests satisfied.
