In the lovely Maldives, you would have the chance to engage in several offbeat activities such as visiting a sandbank, exploring the capital, Male, riding the Whale Submarine, sampling the local food and enjoying spa treatments; here is more on such unforgettable experiences for visitors.
There would be a multitude of attractive sandbanks in the Maldives that disappear and reappear due to the varying water currents. You would find that these sandbars would be constantly altered and reshaped by these currents. It would always be a pleasure to spend time at these secluded and picturesque sandbanks which can be reached on excursions provided by certain resorts. You may have the opportunity to enjoy a delightful private picnic at one of these natural wonders which could be a romantic experience for couples or a pleasant family outing.
An interesting experience that you could enjoy during your visit to the islands would be exploring the nation's fascinating capital, Male. This tiny but captivating city would offer a number of sightseeing attractions that would draw the interest of the discerning traveller. Amongst these would be religious attractions like the Old Friday Mosque and Grand Friday Mosque. Other highlights to be found here would be Republic Square and the National Museum, while you may also visit the lively Male Fish Market and shop at the local bazaar.
A truly memorable experience that you could enjoy during your visit to these islands would be taking a ride on the remarkable Whale Submarine. This special submarine would take you far beneath the waters to experience the marvellous undersea environment with its enthralling marine creatures. On this ride, you could spot various corals as well as sea denizens like snappers, reef fish, sea turtles, sharks and more. This experience would also be a good choice for non-divers who wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity to venture into the mesmerizing marine environment of this destination.
Your visit to this tropical island nation wouldn’t be complete without sampling the distinctive local cuisine. Whilst plenty of international dishes would be available at the Maldives resorts, you could also take the opportunity to try out authentic local cuisine which would be a delightful experience for foodies. Dishes utilizing fish would be an important component of the local cuisine including garudhiya (a fish soup), various fish curries, mas huni (a breakfast dish made with tuna) and rihaakuru (a thick fish-based paste).
The Maldives would offer some outstanding world-class spas at private resorts and enjoying pampering wellness therapies would undoubtedly be an unforgettable experience during your holiday. You would find luxurious spas featuring well-designed treatment rooms where you could look forward to exclusive health treatments delivered by experienced therapists that would balance the spirit, body and mind. You would also have the option of engaging in wellness programmes and activities tailored to our requirements. One of the all inclusive resorts in Maldives to consider where you could experience spa therapies as described above would be Heritance Aarah.
An unusual yet exciting water activity that you would have the opportunity to try out during your holiday here would be flyboarding which is available at certain private resorts. Whilst flyboarding, you would be able to ascend into the air through the thrust created by a pair of jet nozzles attached to the flyboard. The skilled flyboard operator would control the throttle so that you could enjoy a satisfying ride. As you might expect, once you get the hang of it, this activity would be an exhilarating experience for those in search of a new water sports thrill.
