Dreaming of that picture-postcard like perfect beach with pristine sands, palm trees and azure waters reaching the horizon? Well, a visit to the Maldives can make that dream a reality! Here are some of the key reasons why you need to experience these heavenly shores.
One of the worst things about visiting a popular beach is that you will find it can get quite crowded and tends to ruin that peaceful ambience you crave. The great thing about beaches in Maldives is that you can experience more serenity; this is especially true at a private island resort located on a separate island which offers plenty of seclusion in which to unwind on pristine sands. You can even stay at beach villas with direct access to the shore for lots of fun family times or romantic walks.
The waters surrounding the beaches are also one of the main allures here. They are home to a myriad of coral and marine life that can easily be seen due to the clear visibility of the Indian Ocean. You can look forward to engaging in snorkelling right from the shore to explore house reefs teeming with fish; resorts the likes of Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas that are located in the Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, offer even more memorable encounters; this includes the chance to snorkel amidst majestic manta rays!
The beach is also an ideal spot from which to try a wide range of water-based activities when at your luxury resort; Maldives water sports provide plenty of thrills in the water which you can enjoy before or after a divine sunbathing session on the beach! For those looking for speed-filled excitement, jet-skiing is an ideal choice, while stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking offer great ways to explore the shoreline and beyond. Skimming along the water on a jetpack Seabob, parasailing, big game fishing and dhoni fishing are amongst the other water sports that you can try.
For a fun day out, the beach provides a great backdrop for games and sports which the whole family can take part in. Of course, the soft sand and views of spectacular sunrises and sunsets, make the shore perfect for some morning or evening yoga too. Some resorts also feature overwater spa treatment rooms near the beach as well as marine biology courses where kids can learn more about underwater lifeforms. As the day draws to a close, you can even enjoy private movie screenings set up on the beach and under the stars!
The amazing beaches here are not just relegated to private island resorts, but can also be found on deserted or uninhabited islands or can be part of a sandbank. On such islands, you can experience even more seclusion with the family or your partner, perfect for spending time soaking up the sun, snorkelling in the waters or having picnics. Some properties will even organise private dinners on an isolated sandbank where you and that special someone can enjoy a truly blissful romantic meal.
