It is no secret that the Maldives spells paradise for all those looking for an unforgettable vacation. Here are some reasons to add this location to your list of the best spots to head for a holiday in the sun.
The Maldives comprises a tropical environment. It has consistently mild temperatures throughout the year. The average temperature is around 28°C all year round. These pleasant conditions make way for outdoor excursions like sightseeing, sunbathing on the beaches and trying your hand at the myriad of watersports available at each location in this archipelago.
If you have luxury and pampering in mind for your holiday, there is no better destination to visit than the Maldives. Most of the top resorts in the Maldives boast of world-class resort experiences like being surrounded by natural beauty and many unique offerings like dhoni rides, dolphin watching experiences, picking your own harvest and whipping up a mouthwatering meal with them. You get secluded settings that ensure privacy for couples and honeymooners, as well as those located near exciting excursions for adventure seekers. Properties with safe environments are ideal for families with small children.
Since the Maldives is often stated to be 99 per cent water, it is no wonder that this archipelago is dotted with many beautiful beaches. As you find pleasant climate and sunny weather all day, the Maldives is a great place to indulge in a beach vacation. Many of the accommodations are only a hop, skip and a jump away from beaches with picture postcard settings like crystal clear waters, white sands and swaying palm trees. Such places offer the perfect environment for a day out with your family. You can enjoy the sun while your children build sandcastles, swim in the shallow waters or simply play around in the sand.
The Maldives is a playground for watersport lovers. You get many enthralling watersports offered at each destination. There is almost anything available that will suit those who love heart-pumping action as well as those who prefer soothing experiences, exploring the diverse marine life under the sea. Snorkelling, scuba diving, surfing, jet skiing, parasailing, wakeboarding, kayaking, kite surfing, banana boat rides and underwater walking are some favourites which can be found in many of these locations. Guests at The Residence Maldives will be allowed to take part in 90-minute guided snorkelling safaris. You can dive in and explore the exciting underwater world or enjoy the lush settings that the island nation has to offer while engaging in these watersports.
Since many of the destinations are located near the sea, seafood is a staple in Maldivian cuisine. Immerse yourself in local flavours with favourites like Garudhiya (clear fish soup), Mas Huni (smoked tuna dish), Roshi (Maldivian flatbread), and Bis Keemiya (Samosa). There are places which offer international dishes, too, if you need to munch on something close to home. Try the street food scene in the Maldives for budget-friendly dining experiences. However, if you need to try out something classy, head for an accommodation which has restaurants in trendy settings and a host of dining options.
