Have you always dreamed of the perfect tropical escape with endless stretches of white sandy beaches, cloudless skies, and inviting clear waters? Here are six reasons why you should stop dreaming and start planning your vacation in the Maldives!
True to the pictures you'd find online, one of the foremost reasons to visit the Maldives is its indescribably perfect beaches. These beautiful, laidback stretches of beach are perfect for unwinding and relaxing. Nestle yourself on a deck chair to catch the rays of sunshine in the morning. If you aren't an early riser, these beaches don't lose their allure as the sun reaches its peak at mid-day either. You can spend the day in the shade of a large beach umbrella, sipping a refreshing chilled drink, taking in the glory and splendour of the vast, Indian ocean.
Apart from the stunning vistas and natural beauty, it is of popular opinion that the Maldives is one of the world's most exclusive and luxurious holiday destinations. You can expect to find some of the classiest and most luxurious resorts in the Maldives. Luxury resorts are scattered across the archipelago and include the likes of hotels and chains as well such as Amilla Maldives Resort and Residences. This tropical paradise has become the ultimate escape for the discerning traveller with a taste for the finer things in life.
The Maldives attracts scuba divers and snorkelling enthusiasts from the world over just to be able to take a glimpse of the universe that exists in its waters. The calm waters invite all manner of marine life including sea turtles and enormous whale sharks as well! You'll also be able to swim alongside innocent and harmless reef sharks in the shallow waters.
You can expect to find a stunning ecosystem just under the waves of the Indian ocean. The good news is that the Maldives doesn't require the standard PADI diving license! Instead, you can learn the fundamentals of diving from the dive schools scattered across the resort islands. You won't regret this as you'll be amazed at the marine life you'll encounter underwater. Expect to share the tides with some sea turtles, manta rays and numerous multicoloured fish you call the coral reefs their home.
If you want to get your heart pumping on your holiday, the array of exciting water sports is a great reason to visit the Maldives! From jet-skiing, kayaking, canoeing, sea bobbing, water gliding to snorkelling and diving – the Maldives has it all! Whether you're an avid water sports fanatic or a complete novice, the resorts offer plenty of guidance to care to make sure you have yourself a whale of a time on the water. Additionally, there are also dolphin and turtle safari boat tours which you should add to the list!
Maldivian sunsets are nothing short of mesmerising and are one of many reasons to book your trip to the Maldives today. Every evening the sun puts on quite a show as it takes its leave of the day, as it dips into the Indian ocean for the night. But it does not go down quietly. The skies are ablaze with colours ranging from fierce oranges to reds and yellows and settling into magnificent shades of blue and purple just before the darkness sets in.
