Afloat on the Indian ocean, the largest archipelago in the region, the Maldives is an amazing place to visit. There is so much to explore under the water and so much to do on each island. Here are a few activities that will make a stay in the Maldives an absolutely unforgettable experience!
For those at resorts like The Nautilus Maldives, the hotel is likely to offer equipment for kayaking so don't miss out on this chance to indulge in this activity. The waters surrounding the islands are crystal clear and not all that rough making it ideal for kayaking. This can be done as a family activity and even solo.
The best part of it all is that you can also opt for a transparent kayak at some resorts. This will allow you to observe the marine life underneath even better.
For anyone who can swim, you are not going to want to miss out on this opportunity to swim with the creatures of the deep blue! Knowing the extent of diversity when it comes to marine life in the Maldives a snorkel or dive is hard to resist. Those who aren't comfortable with going into the deep can do their exploring in the shallow where the colourful coral gardens thrive with various species of fish. Just walk out the deck of your overwater villa in Maldives and jump right into the water for an adventure.
For those who are more experienced, diving is an amazing activity to indulge in here. Swim with manta rays and even whale sharks for a thrilling experience.
At a certain time of the year, the waters of certain islands have the best conditions for a good surf. Experienced surfers can enjoy great swells, there are specific points for beginners to try their luck too. It is a well-loved surfing destination.
The Maldives consists of about 1200 islands and each of them is unique. Some are even untouched! So, this is your chance to explore it all. Speak with your resort beforehand and organise an island-hopping excursion. This is a wonderful activity to enjoy with your special someone. You can even opt for a stay on an abandoned island or camp out on the shores.
One of the most authentic experiences the Maldives offers is dining by the beach. The best part is that the different resorts offer different beachside dining experiences as well. So, by evening sunset, sit by the shores as the waves lap against the sand and enjoy a delicious meal in the sunset.
