Top Travel Mistakes – 5 Blunders to Steer Clear of During Your Maldives Venture

Just like the experience of travelling to many unknown destinations, travel mistakes are also common. It is a characteristic of travelling because you will be experiencing something quite alien to you. Check out these errors that those going to the Maldives normally make. 

1

Limiting your stay to one island 

The Maldives is an archipelago which comprises 1,192 islands. Some of these islands are privately owned by resorts and offer activities at that destination. However, if you want to expand your wings and experience the best of what this island nation has to offer, plan some excursions to some of the top tourist attractions. For example, a day in Male will be fulfilling. There are ample places you can visit like the National Museum, Old Friday Mosque, Fish Market, National Art Gallery and Independence Square.

2

Ignoring local cultural experiences 

Navigating through an unfamiliar culture is challenging and the Maldives is a melting pot of diverse cultures. You get a range of cultural offerings from countries like Africa, the Middle East, India, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka at this destination. So remember to watch a Bodu Bera show or a Bandiyaa Jehun performance, visit a local fishing village or try some Maldivian delicacies during your stay. Guests at Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort are treated to traditional drumming and fireworks shows after dusk.  This will be a truly alluring experience you can indulge in to make holiday memories.

Failing to conduct prior research

If you wish to fully experience the best of what the Maldives has to offer, you need to know what they are. Engaging in prior research not only demonstrates respect towards the place you visit and the people there but also helps you plan a trip which will help you appreciate the destination’s historical and cultural value. You will also know what time it is best to visit the destination to engage in the activities you have in mind. December to May is considered the best time to engage in watersports like scuba diving and snorkelling since you can expect exceptional visibility during this period.

Viewing it as a honeymoon destination 

The Maldives is always a top choice for honeymooners because of its abundance of private island resorts and overwater villas. However, you need not save this place as your romantic retreat since there are many things you can engage in to make it your ideal family holiday destination or solo travel zone. If you have young children with you, a day at the beach would be a thrilling experience for them. Many resorts also house kids’ clubs which offer many entertaining ventures for tiny tots. Those who are up for some adrenaline-pumping activities can explore the water-based activities on offer at many of these sites.

Not thinking about budget-friendly options  

The Maldives is full of opulent experiences and accommodations. However, it also has a variety of places which offer pocket-friendly lodgings.  Check out the deals, packages and amenities on offer on the Internet and take your pick from the affordable guest houses and beachfront villas in the Maldives. Though a luxury yacht cruise might seem enticing, there are also many activities on offer which do not break your bank. Add experiences like beach hopping, tasting local food and encountering the bioluminescence effect to your itinerary.
