Tickling the fancy of yearning holidaymakers around the world, the picture-postcard islands of the Maldives take "fun" to new heights that other tourist destinations could only dream of. An outgoing adventurer or a laid-back soul, your slice of bliss lies amidst the enchanting island paradise.
Sugary-white sands fade into colourful reefs, turquoise blue waters surround the oasis and the entire seascape is blessed by welcoming sunshine – the magnificence of the world-renowned beaches of the Maldives require no introduction. After all, these stretches of pristine white sand are what put the island nation on the map for many vacationers. Frolic on the precious sands, sip tropical cocktails, bask in the sun and lounge under palms until the tranquil sunset bids farewell for the day.
An archipelagic nation comprised of 1,200 or so islands – travellers to the Maldives couldn't possibly visit a better place on earth for island hopping. So hop on a boat and set out to explore the picturesque isles that make up the breathtaking Maldives. Since only about 200 islands of the whole archipelago have been inhabited, you can only imagine what awaits you out there, lying amid the innumerable deserted islands. Relish in the exciting adventure and soak up everything that this paradise on earth has to offer.
The turquoise blue waters of the surrounding Indian Ocean are home to colourful coral reefs and schools of tropical fishes that it would be a pity not to indulge in some snorkelling on your trip to the Maldives. Snorkel-suit up and hit the alluring waters to feast your eyes on the wondrous treasures of the world underwater. If you are staying at one of the all inclusive hotels in Maldives, including the likes of Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa Maldives, you'll probably be able to avail yourself of complimentary snorkelling excursions to help get the hang of the sport.
Fun in the water doesn't have to limit only to snorkelling when you are vacationing in the Maldives. In fact, there are a plethora of water sports awaiting your indulgence. From adrenaline-pumping jet skiing, surfing and parasailing to low-key banana riding and kayaking, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Thrill-seeking daredevils or laid-back folks, the welcoming waters surrounding the Maldives will never disappoint you and guarantee to offer your type of fun.
After a day of immersing in the glories of the Maldives, hop on a boat at sunset and set off on an exciting dolphin watching cruise. Keep your eyes peeled and it won't take long for you to spot a pod of dolphins if it's your lucky day.
