6 Reasons to Plan a Family Trip to the Maldives – A wider look at what you can do

As the plane is landing in Male Airport, you are going to feel a pang of adrenaline as you look out the window! "We are landing on the ocean!", is the first thought that is sure to come into your mind. But don't worry, you'll be landing on solid ground in the capital of the Maldives. From here it's all about getting to your resort. There are resorts located closer to the main island which makes it easy for you to reach within an hour by boat. Yet, to reach resorts like Amilla Maldives Resort and Residences located on more remote islands you will need a seaplane transfer. The kids are going to love it!

Most of Maldives' natural beauty comes from the ocean waters surrounding the islands. The shores are as white as sand can be and the waters are an amazing turquoise blue which happens to come in different shades when it comes to different islands. In these crystal-clear waters is a colourful world of fish and coral that you can explore. You can also swim with creatures like stingrays and turtles too if you get lucky. On the islands, you'll find coconut palms that seem to reach out towards the sea. Pictures can only show half of the real beauty of the island.

The Maldives was one of the first destinations in the world to open up to tourists. They are absolutely well prepared to ensure both your safety and the safety of their staff as well. Besides, most of the resorts in the Maldives have also come up with a new concept where all the arrangements will be made for you to work and relax at the same time! All health protocols are followed to the dot here and you will have nothing to fear.

When it comes to the best things to do in Maldives, it all revolves around the water activities that your resort has to offer. Each resort is unique, some have the best reefs for snorkelling, some of them have the best waters for diving and others offer one of a kind boat excursions and so on. Therefore, this actually depends on what you want to do. You must select your resort according to the experiences you are looking for. Also, keep in mind that you won't be able to go island hopping these days so you will be spending most of your time at the resort itself.

All resorts in the Maldives serve local cuisine and it is an absolute delight for the taste buds. Almost all the local dishes have fish, specifically, tuna as their main ingredient and whatever isn't tuna will be vegetarian. The food is quite colourful too making it appealing to the eye. You can also opt for international cuisine which is served at restaurants as well.
