Top 5 Fantastic Things to Do in Maldives – Amazing Adventures & Experiences

Blessed with countless islands, secluded beaches and azure ocean waters, the Maldives offers the ideal getaway for families, couples and solo travellers. There is plenty to do here as well which helps ensure you have a truly unforgettable holiday.

1

Water Sports

From exhilarating rides on the water to mesmerising discoveries beneath the waves, there is much to enjoy when it comes to water sports in Maldives. Snorkelling is one of the best activities to try here be it by yourself or on guided snorkel safaris with lots of coral and fish species to be seen. For speed-based thrills you can try wakeboarding, water-skiing and rides on fun tubes and banana boats; non-motorised water sports like kayaking, windsurfing and stand-up paddleboarding are also fun, while other activities such as big game fishing and parasailing are on offer too.

Sunset Cruises

The country is also known for its spectacular sunsets and while travellers can enjoy this sight from their Maldives villas, what's even better is to witness it on a cruise out at sea! Depending on the resort, your sunset cruise may include additions like a glass of sparkling wine, perfect to enjoy with that special someone as you take in the fiery colours of the setting sun. What's more, bring your camera along because sometimes you may get to capture another memorable sight too; dolphins swimming wild and free.

Scuba Diving

To truly appreciate and enjoy the fantastic coral and marine life to be found here, nothing beats scuba diving. The great thing is, even if you don't have the needed certification, many resorts have dive centres where you can get the required training. Such properties including those like Kuramathi Maldives provide access to some of the best dive sites home to barracudas, Napoleon wrasses, leaf fish, mantas, trevally, turtles, morays, whale sharks, hammerhead sharks and more. There's even the chance for guided night dives be it to house reefs or underwater wrecks.

Island Hopping

For those looking to soak up some local culture, one of the best things to do in Maldives is to go on excursions to inhabited islands. This is an ideal way to witness local livelihoods and lifestyles, get in a bit of souvenir shopping and even sample some Maldivian food; Male, Rasdhoo and Ukulhas are amongst such islands you can plan to visit. You may also get the chance to visit other island resorts, while not to be missed is a trip to deserted or uninhabited islands which offer pure seclusion.

Experience Spa Bliss

Sometimes the ideal thing to do is to just relax and enjoy some well-deserved pampering! Spa resorts in Maldives provide a wealth of wellness options and serene island settings offer the perfect backdrop. Depending on the resort spa, you can look forward to various treatments including traditional healing rituals from Asia and Europe at special pavilions over the water or near the beach. Be it a variety of massages, facial and skincare treatments or body wraps utilising natural ingredients and oils there is much to choose from.
