The Maldivian archipelago includes some of the most exquisite and isolated beaches in the world! With so many islands to choose from, here are some top picks to include in your next beach escapade!
The beaches of Baros in the North Male atoll are every beach-loving honeymooner's dream destination. This island has it all; clear blue skies, turquoise sea and delicate cottage-looking houses! This perfect landscape is almost like heaven on earth! You will enjoy walking on the pristine beaches and chilling beneath the lush palm trees. You will also get to swim in the invigorating blue sea and the lagoon as well as dive into the crystal clear waters to discover the many aquatic life living within the coral reefs!
Travel to Nika Island in North Ari Atoll to discover this breathtaking gem of a beach! Nika may be considered a part of Maldivian tourism history, as one of the first isles that initiated tourism back in 1983. Nika Island has retained its beauty despite the onslaught of tourism ever since. This idyllic island has a Mediterranean vibe despite being in the centre of the Indian Ocean. Isolate yourself within the heart of nature, with deep blue sea, white sand and lush greenery. Ideal place for couples, this private beach will give you enough seclusion for that perfect romantic getaway.
The isolated beach lies on the North Male Atoll and runs at a 3.5-mile stretch of uninterrupted coastline. It is just 75 minutes away from the capital city and is in a different time zone! Reethi Rah is an hour ahead of Male, the capital city. Due to its unusual location, the island displays perhaps the most spectacular sunsets on earth. Some of the best Maldives island resorts close to Male include the likes of Dhigali Maldives, which is just some 40 minutes away via seaplane.
Maagu Island is a fantastic option when travelling with your family, and a great way to introduce children to the aquatic wonders of the Maldives. The private beach is located on Dhaalu Atoll and is home to some of the most enchanting landscapes in the Maldives. The beach has a vibrant coral reef to provide kids and adults with endless hours of fun beneath its gentle waters. The lagoon on the island is shallow and impeccable and an ideal place for kids to safely swim and play on its powdery white sand.
The island is located within the isolated Baa Atoll and is part of the internationally-proclaimed UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. Fulhadhoo Island highlights a delicately sloped shoreline with sky-blue lagoons and miniature natural pools. The scenery is incredibly beautiful, while the main attraction will be the rich and thriving sea life living around the island. Don't forego the opportunity to swim and snorkel in this immaculate blue ocean. Witness a broad assortment of marine life like dolphins, turtles, and shoals of colourful fish.
