The Maldives in South Asia is blessed with everything the island nation could possibly wish for to leave its many visitors in awe. Come, immerse yourself in the myriad of fun-filled activities that await to treat you to the best of the Indian Ocean islands and a blissful tropical island getaway.
If it weren't for the island nation's slew of picture-postcard beaches, the Maldives wouldn't be anywhere near the popular tourist hotspot it is today. So, at least one whole day savouring a slice of sun, sand, and sea on the white sandy shores of the stunning archipelago is a must on your Maldives programme. Unwind under swaying palms, sip on tropical cocktails, and bask in the soothing sun, soaking up the idyllic seaside aura.
Year-round sunshine, crystal clear waters, striking corals, and schools of colourful tropical fish — it would be a shame to fly halfway across the world to the Maldives and not engage in some exciting scuba diving. Put yourself in a diving suit and descend deep into the turquoise waters to uncover the striking treasures of the world beneath the tropical blue, which awaits to treat your eyes to some mind-blowing wonders of nature.
Yearning foodies headed to the island nation of the Maldives are in for a treat. Authentic South Asian cuisine makes it an unmissable experience to savour the exotic mouth-watering flavours. Steer clear of the gourmet buffet and indulge in an assortment of traditional dishes with the likes of Garudhiya, Mas huni, Gulha or Rihaakuru to give a taste of the authentic local cuisine. An experience that's sure to unleash the true foodie in you.
Treat yourself to a one-of-a-kind experience on your trip to the Maldives by going swimming with whale sharks — the largest living extant fish species in the world. With their massive size and wide, terminal mouth, they may appear intimidating, but they are so used to divers, that they'd be the last creatures to cause you any harm underwater. Descend beneath the tropical blue and share a lovely moment or two with the majestic creatures of the sea.
Lying on the white sandy shores of the Maldives are a plethora of thrilling water sports, inviting you to get that long-awaited rush of adrenaline. From snorkelling and scuba diving to jet skiing, parasailing and much more, your choices for fun in the water are pretty much endless. Vacationing tourists staying at the best Maldives resort, including the likes of Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon, could avail themselves of the water sports activities offered by the resort.
