Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway, a family vacation or a holiday with your friends, Maldives is an all-around destination that caters to the needs of all types of travellers. With turquoise beaches, coral reefs, exotic marine life and luxurious villas and resorts calling you from every corner of the archipelago, it is no secret that Maldives exudes the ultimate vacation vibes. Here is a list of some of the most exciting things you can try while holidaying in this paradise-like nation.
Snorkelling is a must-try if you are looking for fun Maldives activities to keep you entertained. As you dive deep into the ocean, you will come across a host of exotic marine species like whale sharks, turtles, fishes of different sizes, eels and rays. Interestingly, most resorts are also decked with their own house reefs which can be easily reached through the beach. If you rely on the in-house reef of the resort you are staying, you will be able to sign up for a snorkelling expedition without any costs. Added to this, you can always ask the resort staff for snorkelling gear or bring your own equipment.
If you are seeking ways to get up close with the aquatic species and corals of Maldives, a submarine tour might be an ideal choice. The exhilarating underwater ride would take you to the depths of water and let you explore the plentiful marine lie scattered across the vast blue sea. The intriguing part is, that a submarine tour is something you can try even if you are not adept at snorkelling or scuba diving.
Exploring Male city is one of the best ways for you to mingle with the culture, lifestyle and cuisine varieties of Maldives. Being the capital of Maldives, this populated and bustling city is bound to give you a holistic perspective on the many charms of the archipelago. Some of the most popular places in the city you must visit without fail may include Hukuru Miskiiy, Sultan Park, Grand Friday Mosque, Street shop and Majeedhee Magu.
Whilst the archipelago is known for its agreeable weather conditions that pervade throughout the year, the peak season for tourist arrivals is from November to April. With temperatures ranging from 25 to 30 degrees Celsius, you can easily remain outdoors and engage in all the adventures under the sun you have been longing for a long time. The Monsoon season that falls between May and October is not considered to be the most ideal time of the year for tourist visits. However, the weather still remains pleasant throughout the season, so there is no downfall in visiting Maldives during this time too. Added to this, during this off-peak season, lavish accommodation spots like Saii Lagoon Maldives will be in greater demand due to reduced costs.
Famed for its turquoise blue waters, Maldives is a haven for surfing enthusiasts. If you are a pro surfer, brace yourself for a feast in the ocean with your surfing board. However, if you are still an amateur in the sport, there is still an opportunity for you to take surfing lessons or enjoy the sight of other surfers riding the waves.
