Ecstasy in the tropical island paradise
Travellers to the island nation of Maldives are absolutely spoiled for choice; spoiled for choice for fun, exciting and fascinating things to do that treat them to a blissful getaway. Come, let yourself loose to savour all that the idyllic archipelagic nation has in store for a delightful time.
The undeniably quintessential Maldives experience — your trip to the island country would be nowhere complete without its scores of picture-postcard beaches, for it is what put the chic tourist hotspot on the map for almost all of its travellers. So, it goes without saying that experiencing the country’s palm-dotted beaches is a non-negotiable must-do. Frolic on pristine sands, unwind under swaying palms and sip on tropical cocktails until the tranquil sunset bids you farewell for a blissful day at the stunning shores.
Sugary white sands, turquoise blue waters and gorgeous sunsets — the beaches of Maldives are undoubtedly a sight worth admiring all day long, but they aren’t only about indulging in immersive contemplation. Avid adventurers vacationing in the island nation, the pristine shores await you with a world of exhilarating watersports, ready to give your fill of fun and thrills. Whether you're into daredevil activities like jet skiing and parasailing, or you prefer delightful experiences such as snorkeling and scuba diving, or even family-friendly adventures like banana boating and sea kayaking — the enticing waters promise to provide everyone with their own slice of bliss.
Among everything that’s fun, exciting and fascinating about the tropical Indian Ocean islands, treating yourself to a relaxing spa day, without a doubt, is one of the best things to do in Maldives, especially thanks to elegant hotels and resorts the likes of Baros Maldives. Pamper yourself like never before and let your body, mind and spirit wallow in rejuvenation.
For most travellers to the Maldives, Male is only the gateway into the island nation. They choose to skip the capital city right away, almost impetuously, for their resort island of choice, which is a pity as the bustling metropolis has so much to offer in ways no other part of the archipelagic nation could. The world-renowned resort islands of the Maldives, while unquestionably paradisiacal, are nowhere close to the “real” Maldives. For authentic tropical island experiences, a visit to the capital city, Male, definitely won’t disappoint.
As the sun goes down and the azure blue skies take a profusion of yellowish oranges, there’s nothing you’d rather do than take yourself on a delightful sunset cruise. Hop aboard a boat from your resort island and set sail into the wide-open seas, admiring the breathtaking seaside, immersed in the tranquillity of the golden hour.
