The Maldives has a lot of great things in store for those planning their vacations to this paradise location. It is not just a fancy honeymoon destination, but a destination with plenty of fun and exploration for people of all ages.
There are many isolated and inhabited islands in the Maldives. Ask your accommodation providers for recommendations, and you can request them to organise a trip for your family. You will get to venture into remote islands and experience how rural indigenous communities live while maintaining the traditions of their forefathers. Request your resort for some help and recommendations, the likes of Adaaran Select Hudhuranfushi are some top places to consider.
The waters surrounding the Maldives are calm and clear; activities like windsurfing, sailing, kite surfing and kayaking are popular in the resorts and make for a great group family activity.
The capital, Male is the economic hub of the Maldives. Although the island is very small, it is the most crowded. Some of the main attractions include The Grand Mosque, Sultan's Park, Fish Market, and The National Museum. Newport is also a trendy spot, popular with visitors. Found on the beachside road, it is filled with quite a diverse range of restaurants.
See what's occurring in the sea beneath you, while taking a relaxing glass-bottom boat ride. These boats have comfortable seats, while the transparent glass panel will bring all the colourful marine life right to your feet. Some excursions end with a cooked meal near the beach. This is a great way to spend time together as a group. And it is just the adventure any non-swimmers of the family can look forward to!
If you think sailing on a boat that looks like a banana is fun, this will be the best way to have some fun with your kids. Once on the boat, passengers are fastened to it to avert falls and get suited with life jackets. The ride will be fun and calming; traverse the peaceful waves of the Indian Ocean with the family.
The Baa Atoll Biosphere Reserve is the seventh-largest coral reef in the world and has over 250 types of corals, and is home to over 1,200 species of fish. Observe an array of marine life like butterflyfish, angelfish, clownfish, moray eels, and dolphins.
Windsurfing is suitable for anyone who loves water. The basic preparation will be provided by your accommodation, but inquire about availability before making any bookings. May to October is the best time as the winds gain some force during these months.
