The Maldives is a beautiful place to visit and there is no doubt about it! There is much to do here, more in the water than out of it. This is of course other than lazing around at your resort in ultimate luxury! Here are a few activities you ought to try out on a visit to the Maldives.
No matter which island you are on, snorkelling is always an option! If you are travelling with kids, the waters are safe and shallow enough for them to explore, so you needn't worry one bit! Starting from the shores, the waters in the Maldives are quite shallow and very close to the seabed. But this comes as no surprise as the Maldives is the lowest island in the world. There are a number of vibrant hard and soft coral to catch a glimpse of. If you've forgotten to pack up your snorkelling gear, then resorts such as Kandolhu Maldives offer equipment rentals so you won't miss out.
So, diving in the Maldives requires you to be PADI certified and experienced. If you have not got the certificate, where better to start than right here? Inquire with your hotel for a recommended diving school and get started. You will go through a short course with lots of practices in a deep diving pool. You will also have to pass a written exam to get yourself the certificate.
Once you are done with that, you can head out to sea and begin your diving diaries in the waters of the Maldives. The marine life is absolutely stunning. The best part is that you could even swim with whales!
If you are staying at a honeymoon resort in Maldives, then don't let the easy-going yet luxurious interiors of your room trap you inside. Within the resort is so much to be experienced and explored. Begin with the spa, some resorts offer outdoor spas by the beach where the warm wind plays on your skin and the smell of the sea provides your dose of aroma. Want to explore the local cuisine? the best way to do this is to learn how to prepare a few local dishes. Most resorts have cooking classes for both adults and kids. How about a romantic dinner? This might seem a little cliché, but it isn't out of style. Surprise your loved one with a romantic dinner by the shores of the wondrous Maldivian waters.
Male is the capital city of the Maldives and is the main island where most of the country's people live in. For an island with an area of about 5.8 square metres, it is densely populated indeed! But that's not the reason why you should visit Male. If you love to delve into the local cultures of the destinations you visit, then the mainland holds much for you to see and do. You can visit the museum, visit the house of a local or hit the restaurants and cafes to get a taste of local food.
Arrange a dhoni ride into the sunset for a truly romantic experience. You could watch as the sky turns into shades of beautiful oranges and pinks.
