Dazzling sunshine, effervescent turquoise depths, encounters with sea creatures, indulgent care and a deep sense of serenity are the stuff of a holiday in the Maldives. The island nation offers many charms to beckon visitors and help them create memories that last. However, if you only have a short week to enjoy the gifts of Maldives, you need a plan.
The best all-inclusive resorts in Maldives offer water sports as part of their packages. You can try jet skiing to revel in the thrill off high speed as you cruise along the salty depths. Another way to unwind would be to let the breeze carry you over the waters as you go parasailing in the sunshine. Sailing a kayak across a lagoon would work too! Gear up to snorkel under the sea, and gaze at the world of sea life. You can even try underwater walking and pretend you are in Atlantis looking for lost treasure. Adventures in a submarine are possible too to look for sunken ships and rays. The last one is not strictly a water sport, but it is an intriguing experience.
A trip to the Maldives is an occasion for luxurious indulgence. Don’t skip adding some spa time to your schedule. A resort like Adaaran Maldives will include an indoor spa, well-equipped with everything a human being can wish for during a spa day.
Treatment as spas in Maldives includes ayurvedic treatment, complete with herbal drinks, a languishing bath, and a therapeutic massage. Some spas offer Swiss spa regimes or stone massage therapies. A Thai massage is a great option if you wish to feel invigorated.
Maldives is blessed with many hued coral reefs where marine life thrives. Spend an hour or so daily diving in the nearby coral reefs to make the most of this opportunity. Scuba diving allows you to go deeper and explore better. You’ll find manta rays. Pufferfish, clown triggerfish, grey reef sharks and occasional turtles. If you are a trained diver, night diving is possible. There are over 70 varieties of coral reef species in the sea around the Maldives and over 700 species of fish. Don’t forget to wear reef protection sunscreen to minimize your contribution to the erosion of these beautiful reefs.
A resort holiday in the Maldives is exciting, memorable, and indulgent, but exploring other islands is always a good idea to add variety. You can either book a cruise or go on a seaplane ride to hop on to another island. There are a few options available. If you seek luxury, book a day cruise inclusive of good food, wine, scuba diving and island hopping. If you wish to see a bit of the local culture, you can visit an inhabited island where local people go about their day in the island’s slow-paced manner. Alternatively, you can book a dhoni cruise ride (traditional vessel) to sail from one beach to yet another just as stunning. You’ll be greeted with sprinkles of sea life and wonder along the way. A day spent in the capital Male is a wonderful experience, as well as there are plenty of things to discover in the city.
Catching a few sunsets is a worthwhile pursuit when you go on a beach holiday. Get a glass of your favourite wine, beer, or fruity cocktail to watch the sunset. Watch the orange-tinged ball of red, paint the sky in a multitude of hues from crimson, pink, and orange to pale gold, and then sink into the depth of a grey-blue horizon.
