If you choose to holiday in the beautiful Maldives, you will encounter some excellent Instagram-worthy backdrops; these include your overwater villa, the resort spa, a magical sunset and views from a glass-bottomed kayak.
A great accommodation choice in the Maldives would be an overwater villa built over a lagoon or the ocean which as you might expect, will offer plenty of outstanding opportunities for taking photographs. If you desire to take pictures of the gleaming expanses of the Indian Ocean, you will find that the sea will seem most resplendent from 10am to 3pm; that said, sunrise and sunset hours will provide amazing backdrops too. You could also opt to take snorkelling pictures which will be an enticing opportunity so remember to bring an underwater camera. Another great option would be photographing you and your partner sunbathing on your outdoor deck or daybed enjoying island bliss. If you happen to be staying in a luxury, well-appointed Maldives bungalow, you could snap pictures of its elegant features as well.
Your resort's spa should also offer great photo opportunities. Many of the luxury resorts feature attractive and beautifully laid out spas that will look picturesque in a well-taken photo. For example, your spa may feature thatched therapy suites featuring ornate paintwork that will look scenic against a backdrop of verdant tropical surroundings. Naturally, you should be able to obtain someone's services to take pictures of you and your partner experiencing the spa treatments. It would be great to have pictures taken from different angles so that you will have a variety to choose from when you select the best ones to post on Instagram.
In your luxury resort, you will have the option of enjoying meals at your private villa or bungalow itself. In this regard, capturing images of your breakfast in the attractive setting of your overwater bungalow will be an Instagram-worthy opportunity. Of course, you could photograph yourself having breakfast in bed; other good pictures could include setting your breakfast dishes on the table symmetrically for a photogenic arrangement. You should take plenty of shots using different angles making the necessary adjustments. You may choose to focus the camera downwards so that the food will be the focal point with the water creating the backdrop.
Naturally, your images of the Maldives would not be complete without some pictures of the glorious tropical sunset. You are likely to find that there will be an array of excellent locations within your resort to snap great photos of the setting sun; you may choose to try out several of them so that you can select the finest images later. Apart from the beach or your overwater bungalow, one of the resort's bars that overlook the ocean would be a great place from which to capture such outstanding photographs. A choice of accommodation to consider where you could capture such great sunset images would be Anantara Veli Maldives Resort.
Your images of the Maldives could include some alluring pictures from a glass or glass-bottomed kayak. You can embark on such a kayak ride with your partner or a friend so that the two of you could take turns snapping photos, paddling and just hanging out in the tropical sun. However, it will be important to be careful when taking pictures in a kayak; the camera must be held steady and you should take care to maintain your balance or you could find yourself in the water along with your phone!
