Take a moment to picture yourself surrounded by epic coastal views with a personal butler on one of the tropical islands to serve you freshly plated meals in the quiet and comfort of a private villa. Wouldn't that be the perfect way to relax and rewind? And that is what you are offered in the Maldives. Here are cool things that are also offered when opting to vacation in the Maldives!
Most of the hotels and resorts in the Maldives have their very own in-house reefs, which means you can snorkel at your own resort comfortably and till your heart's content! Some of these resorts can also take you out to other splendid snorkelling spots close-by. In the Maldives, activities like snorkelling are very popular due to the diversity of coral, fish and other marine life. Therefore, it is best to book accommodation with a resort that offers snorkelling. You can check out properties like Saii Lagoon Maldives, for instance.
There are trained divers at most resorts who will be able to give you diving lessons and then certify you. Also, at 30m, the water is amazingly warm and the corals and caves simply magnificent. Napoleons and other major thumpers will move around you and observe with keen eyes making you wonder who is really on display! You'll be shell shocked with the myriad of colours that swirls around you when you take in the sight of schools of vibrantly coloured fish going about their day!
The Maldives is known to have the world's best resorts equipped with all the luxury brands. From in-house coral reefs to aquatic spas and restaurants, the resorts in the Maldives provides something new. Although it might be pricey to stay at these luxury resorts, it is an experience you must devour at least once in your life! The resorts offer a rare culinary experience as they are equipped with at least 2-3 restaurants that offer amazing cuisines for tourists. Besides, you can check out underwater restaurants for a dining experience with a view! The Maldives also offers couples underground wine cellars, private dinners and luxury spas to enjoy a wonderful honeymoon.
You should sign up for tours that will take you to Malé, the capital of the Maldives. When in the capital, you should make your way towards the palace of the Sultan, cultural and historical attractions and the famous fish markets. There are also restaurants specialising in local traditional food, that you can experiment for a dose of delightful flavours.
You must visit other local islands that are inhabited, too. Some resorts will be able to arrange visits to one of the local islands. It's interesting to observe the local lifestyle of the islanders here. Some of these islanders lead a lifestyle that was practised by their ancestors hundreds of years ago. The locals are always hospitable and friendly and eager to engage in conversations and show you around! Some of them will offer to cook for you too!
