Sun-drenched beaches, endearing palm groves, and vast stretches of coral reef teeming with marine life are some of nature's gifts to the Maldives whilst the archipelago is dotted with luxurious resorts and water villas to give an unforgettable Maldivian experience to their valued guests.
One of the most mesmerizing experiences underwater is viewing the Manta Rays close-up whilst snorkelling. These huge, yet graceful and gentle creatures hold an allure to many guests at top resorts in Maldives, making watching them close an activity holding a high point on their bucket list. Being members of the shark and ray family with a wingspan of up to 7 metres and up to 2 tonnes in weight, they are quite majestic and enjoy freedom. It is a wonder that they feed on minuscule zooplankton using the two large lobes at the front of their head to funnel them into their mouth. Experience the feeling of awe as you see them approach stay still and calm to enjoy a fine view of them.
It is no wonder that a trip to the Maldives must indeed have the best surroundings to enjoy the beach staple bikini. As an Islamic nation, the Maldives expects a conservative mode of dress when you are at public beaches, however, there is an array of bikini beaches to experience and even flaunt your favourite bikini against lovely tanned skin as you enjoy the deep blue sky, sugary white sand and the swaying palms engulfed in the balmy sea breeze at a unique bikini beach as often enjoyed by guests from Adaaran Select Hudhuranfushi .
Although being a tiny city, Male the capital of the Maldives holds a lot of fascinating history, buildings, and features to delight visitors. The heritage buildings add charm against turquoise waters and deep blue skies, whilst the vibes of the locals are something to experience on this densely populated island. The iconic Grand Friday Mosque towers over the main square of the city with an enormous golden dome and pristine white façade attracting visitors to admire the simplicity and the fine architecture of this modern structure built in 1984.
Gaining the name due to its underwater curve shape like a banana, Banana Reef is a haven for those who love snorkelling, diving and capturing the wondrous beauty of the underwater world.
