Bucket list things to do in the Maldives – What you should be enjoying

One of the best things to do in the Maldives is snorkelling and this one that even the kids can enjoy if you are travelling with them. The waters of the pristine beaches here are quite shallow and very clear. If your kids aren't good swimmers this is still nothing to worry about. There's always the option of a safety jacket so that they can float about the water. You'll just have to teach them how to breathe with a snorkel mask. The marine life is diverse here with bright corals and tiny fish swimming about here and there. It is one of the experiences in the Maldives which is most looked forward to by travellers.

One of the most romantic things to do in the Maldives would be to book your stay in an overwater villa. Several Hanifaru Bay resorts offer this exciting experience where your accommodation is right out there on the ocean. Your bedroom windows will open out to the deck where what you see will be hues of blue in the distant horizon. The sound of the waves will constantly be playing in the background to calm your senses and the ocean breeze is more than enough when it comes to ventilation. If you are travelling with very small kids, this option is not advisable. But if you are travelling with older kids, they are sure to love the fact that they can just jump into the water whenever they please.

It is very likely that every resort in the Maldives offers their guests a boat tour. The waters of the island have so much to it that a boat tour becomes irresistible. Some boat tours may even allow you to stop and snorkel or dive if you'd like to see the marine life below. There are sunset cruises on the Maldivian traditional boats known as the dhoni which is absolutely romantic and perfect if you are on a romantic getaway.

Now, this is no dream, but a reality. Yes, you will be staying at an island resort with the stunning unspoiled beach just outside your door. The weather is going to be amazing too so all you have to do is grab your beach towel, sunblock, shades and a good book and lie down soaking up a few rays for relaxation.

With most countries under lockdown and others with strict restrictions, most people are confined to their homes, even when it comes to working. Working from home can be difficult at times and when you need a change of place, that's where resorts like The Nautilus Maldives come into the scene. This one, many other properties have also introduced special packages for those who would like to work while being surrounded by absolute luxury and the ocean.
