The Maldives is undoubtedly a place brimming with idyll all year-round, but come the vibrant new year’s eve, the tropical islands are blessed with even more bliss. Come, savour all that is fun and exciting on offer to celebrate the dawn of the new year in the tropical island paradise.
If it weren’t for the scores of picture-postcard beaches, the Maldives would be nowhere near the popular tourist hotspot it is today, making some beach bumming a must, regardless of the purpose of the visit to the island nation or the holiday or special occasion that is upon you. So frolic on pristine white sands, lounge under swaying palms, sip on tropical cocktails and bask in the soothing sun until the tranquil sunset bids you farewell for a year well spent.
The sugary white sands of Maldives are not only about relaxing and unwinding. For those craving a bit of adventure on New Year's eve, the turquoise blue waters that surround the archipelagic nation have a plethora of exciting water sports in store for you. From daredevil jet skiing and parasailing to delightful snorkelling and scuba diving, and mellow banana riding and sea kayaking, there’s something to be enjoyed by everyone in these alluring waters on the new year.
The island nation of Maldives is renowned for its lavish and ultra-relaxing massages that it would be a pity not to indulge in one on your new years in the tropical islands. There are scores of world-class spas and spa resorts that you are absolutely spoiled for choice. Celebrating the new year in twos? Treat yourself to a wonderful couples massage and pamper yourself to rejuvenation together with your loved one in the new year.
Hop on a boat from your resort island and set sail to the Male island, the home to the eponymous capital city, to experience the best of the island nation’s new year charms. Embark on a wonderful city tour and watch as the vibrant scenes of the new year add to Male’s hustle and bustle. Touring Male isn’t something that most tourists to the Maldives seem interested in, but it is a fantastic experience that gives you an authentic insight of things and surely a wonderful way to celebrate the new year in the archipelagic nation.
No Maldives experience would be complete without getting a taste of its authentic local cuisine and what a fantastic way it is to celebrate the new year indulging in an assortment of traditional Maldivian dishes. Make your way to one of the finest Maldives restaurants, offered by the likes of Dhigali Maldives, and embark on your exploration of local cuisine on the lovely New Year’s eve.
