The Maldives is a beautiful country to visit. It is surrounded by pristine beaches, has a range of fun activities to offer as well as a rich culture and food. Here are a few ways to make your trip to the Maldives memorable.
While the Maldives is sunny and beautiful most of the year, the monsoon months can be a little different. During this period, you can experience rains that keep you indoors for days or even weeks. This would be quite sad because most of the things to do in Maldives are outdoors. So, make sure that you consider seasonality when planning your trip.
There is no limit in how many hours you can spend snorkelling, diving, or swimming in the ocean in the Maldives. The only limitation is having gear that supports you. Packing your gear for your stay at your holiday property – for instance, Saii Lagoon Maldives – will assure you that you spend as much time as you like in the water. However, be cautious as you also need to be safe. If there is a skill that you are still not confident of, ensure to get an instructor to help you out.
It is common for tourists to stay in the resort islands when they visit the Maldives. This is no reason for a surprise since most properties are situated on such islands. However, you should make an effort to explore the local islands such as Malé. This is to ensure that you don't miss out on the local culture, authentic food, and festivals that are grandly celebrated there. Keep aside a few days on your itinerary to take a trip to Malé, spend a night there, and learn about the locals of the Maldives.
Most luxury resorts in the Maldives are bound to have an incredible spread during meals. This will include a range of international cuisines. While this food can be great, make sure to try out the local delicacies in the country. Maldivian fish curry, bread, and sago pudding are all to die for. If you don't try them out, you will be missing out on one of the best parts of the country.
Within a single island, it is quite simple to get around. However, do remember that what you get at each island is quite limited. Therefore, you will find yourself wanting to explore other islands or go island hopping. This is a part of the Maldivian adventure. However, the only way to get between islands is via seaplane or boat. Seaplanes tend to be quite expensive while boats can be quite unpredictable. So speak to your travel provider and decide how best to travel within the Maldives.
