If soft sandy beaches, views of an endless ocean and absolute luxury is the ultimate holiday you are looking for, then this alone is reason enough to visit Maldives. Here's a list of what makes the islands stand out among other destinations.
When it comes to scenery, these islands offer some of the most stunning sea views in the world! The best part is that each island has its unique beach, and no two islands are the same! Maldives is also known to have the whitest sand in the world and is almost as though the shores were covered in snow. Beyond the shores is a mass of various shades of blue going from light crystal blue to turquoise and then cobalt towards the deeper parts of the ocean.
Beautiful scenery in Maldives is not restricted typically to land, but underwater as well. Snorkel or dive your way into the deep blue and you'll find brightly coloured coral gardens with its equally colourful inhabitants.
The word luxury literally defines the resorts on the islands of Maldives! It is certainly a luxury travel destination which is home to many of the upscale resorts in the world. A typical 4-star resort in Maldives would offer garden villas, beach villas, water villas, villas with a private pool and much more. Additionally, Reethi Faru Resort and other accommodation options of the like offer some of the best luxury in-room amenities as well.
Also, keep in mind that Maldives accommodation tends to get fully booked easily, especially during season time. So, making your booking well in advance could save you both money and disappointment!
Given that Maldives is made up of 90% water, it comes aReethi s no surprise that marine life is rich in these waters! The warm tropical weather here provides the ideal underwater conditions for marine life to thrive in. Therefore, if you love diving, snorkelling or boat tours, you are bound to see manta rays, whale sharks and dolphins. Furthermore, you will be able to see beautifully patterned reef fish like baby blacktip reef sharks, parrotfish and clownfish. There's a large kingdom of coral out there to explore as well.
Speaking of the local culture, it's quite interesting to explore the local way of life. To begin with, Maldives is a Muslim country and thus, the culture here is quite conservative. Most of the time, a majority of women are dressed in clothing that cover shoulders and knees. The men are often dressed conservatively as well. Nonetheless, the locals are quite friendly!
Water sports in Maldives is yet another reason why holidaymakers look forward to visiting the island. If you aim to relax, then kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding are options to try out. For activities underwater, resorts may sometimes provide you with snorkel and diving gear, you might also be able to sea-bob. If adrenaline-pumping action is what you want, surfing, kitesurfing, banana boating and a range of other sports are available to indulge in! Still not planned your trip? Well, get started today.
