The nation that belongs to the ocean, the Maldives, is an archipelago comprising 1,190 islands. Many of these islands are uninhabited and make for excellent island getaways.
One of the most visited tropical destinations in the world, the Maldives is famous for palm-fringed beaches, island getaways, water sports, cruises, and Maldives island resorts. The country is loved by travellers who want to revel in the tropical climate and enjoy the luxuries of resorts. A long list of accommodation options, including Hard Rock Hotel Maldives, is available with every comfort you could imagine. Holidaying here isn't exactly budget-friendly, but if you visit during the offseason, you might be able to find good hotel deals.
This is the best way to experience Maldivian life. Every resort island is commercialised and has a cookie-cutter effect. To experience the real Maldives, you should visit the islands where the locals live. Your resort can arrange an island-hopping tour for you, and you'll be accompanied by a guide.
Its marine life is one of the main attractions. The country is nurtured by the sea, and most of the tourist activities are sea-related. The Maldives marine life is enchanting with coral reefs and a diverse range of tropical fish. The best way to encounter these delightful details of the Maldives marine world is to snorkel. Don't worry if you don't have experience in snorkelling; you can enrol at one of the schools and learn to snorkel; you can also earn a certificate by the end of your course.
There isn't a big difference between snorkelling and diving, but with diving, you can explore the deep waters. If you want a certificate, there are diving schools that offer PADI certificates. As for diving gear, you can easily rent them on your resort island. Whale sharks and manta rays will be your diving companions. While they pose no threat to humans, if it is your first time seeing them, the sheer size of these creatures can startle you.
The Maldives is loved by surfers. With numerous surf regions, the country experiences two main surf seasons. Most tourists visit the Maldives in the hopes of surfing, and they are never disappointed. March to May is the first surf season, and September to November is the second season.
A sunset fishing trip is one of the best experiences you can have in the Maldives. Your resort can organise a trip for you, and you will set out in the evening right before sunset. Even if you are not able to catch anything, the experience is worth the effort.
The archipelago offers some of the best spas in the world. Most resorts have an in-house spa offering a variety of spa treatments. With the rise of wellness tourism, Maldives spas have been busy with tourists who intend to start their wellness journey.
This is one of the first travel destinations to introduce the concept of underwater dining. The underwater restaurant offers an extremely romantic setting that attracts honeymooners. Surrounded by the tropical marine life of the Maldives, dining here is one of the best things you can do.
The Maldives beaches are among the best tropical beaches in the world. There's a great variety of them, and some beaches are equipped with cafes, restaurants, and resorts. Lying on the beach with a book and sipping a glass of fresh coconut water is something you must do on your Maldives trip.
If you are travelling with your partner, you must have the experience of dining on the beach. Your resort will do everything to make sure that it is every bit as romantic. The local dishes mainly consist of fish and rice, but the menus include a variety of international dishes.
