5 Common Plants of the Maldives - Exploring the Natural Beauty and Biodiversity of the Maldives

Exploring the lush flora of the Maldives can be a delightful part of your activities to do in the Maldives, especially when you're staying at luxurious resorts like OZEN by Atmosphere at Maadhoo. Amidst the stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters, you'll encounter a variety of native plants that contribute to the unique ecosystem of these islands. Two notable plants are Scaevola, often referred to as the "beach cabbage" due to its distinctive cabbage-like leaves and beautiful white flowers. It's commonly found along the sandy shores, adding to the tropical allure of the beaches. Another iconic plant is Cocos-Pandanus, which includes the famous coconut palm trees that line the coast. These palms not only provide shade but also offer coconuts, a refreshing treat for visitors. In addition to these, you'll come across other common plants in the Maldives such as the tropical hibiscus, with its vibrant blooms adorning the landscapes, and pandanus trees, whose twisted, blade-like leaves create unique textures in the scenery. The Maldivian islands are also home to a variety of mangrove species, essential for protecting the coastal areas and providing a habitat for marine life.
