The Maldives would not be the popular tourist hotspot it is if it didn't guarantee the best forms of entertainment, and the island's beauty alone is enough to charm anyone and keep them occupied for hours. Here are the top five things to do in the Maldives.
The Maldives is an excellent destination for you to indulge in water sports excursions, as it offers a wide range of activities for you to pursue. Indulge in the pure joy felt during an afternoon of kite surfing, with the magnetic attraction of the tropical winds pulling you in their direction at an adrenaline-spiking speed. Parasailing is also an extremely exciting experience, and you'll be flying as high as a kite, feeling the salty breeze of the Indian Ocean as you let all your stress seep away. For another relaxing experience, steer around the soothing waters in a kayak or go Catamaran sailing, gazing into the horizon while the sun gives you a golden tan.
Snorkelling is an experience you must not forego during your visit, as you might be missing out on an entirely new world if you don't try it out. Snorkelling is possible almost anywhere in the country, as most resorts in the country such as Atmosphere Kanifushi are located close to the beautiful coral reefs or the lagoons, so you're never too far to go on a good snorkelling trip. Swim around and witness the most exotic marine life, with various types of fish and oysters inhabiting the intriguing reefs. Some of the best snorkelling spots include Banana Reef, Manta Point, and the HP Reef.
Enjoy a candlelit dinner in the calming ambience of the ocean, in a very unique dining experience. Celebrate special moments with your loved ones while enjoying an exquisite meal while the sun goes down. Some resorts are even known to arrange sparkling wine and soft music to elevate the experience to a new level.
A good spa day is key to rejuvenating your body and soul, and you can arrange one with your resort and let traditional healing practices do their thing. It is the ultimate form of self-care, with a focus on health and giving your skin the treatment it deserves. Spas improve blood flow circulation and leave your skin glowing like never before. Maldives is extremely popular for its spa treatments, in fact, it was voted the Best Spa Destination in the Indian Ocean. Its tourism industry is one of, if not the biggest contributor to its economy, so they waste no expense when it comes to pampering its visitors with the utmost luxury and tranquillity.
Additionally, another popular form of relaxation can be found in a Maldives villa with a pool, which usually overlooks the ocean. When you don't feel like wading in the salty waters of the ocean, you could relax in the privacy of your villa pool and watch the sunset from within its confines.
The Maldive Victory is the stuff of legends among the Maldivian people, a stunning wreck located between Male and Hulhule. The tragedy of the wreck gave birth to something truly beautiful, with various aquatic life inhabiting it, including turtles, mackerels and barracudas. The wreck used to be a massive cargo ship which unfortunately steered into a reef by the Maldives. After divers discovered the haunting wreck, it became a famous dive spot to take curious visitors.
