1,192 islands, and completely surrounded by the Indian Ocean, Maldives is a true treat for those looking for a rejuvenating getaway whilst immersing themselves in the thrills of marine life.
Relaxing by a picturesque beach, having hotel staff take care of each of your whims, is one way to enjoy your holiday in Maldives. The other, is to throw yourself in the midst of water sport and adventure, exploring the country’s marine life to the fullest.
Diving is an awesome way to take your Maldivian adventure to the next level. Get up close to underwater mountains that are home to Oriental Sweet Lips and Banner Fish. The colourful corals are simply breathtaking. On an ideal dive, you would also see sharks, rays, sailfish and tunas. The Dive Centre at Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma, Maldives is very popular among tourists for their professionalism and expertise in handling divers of all skill levels.
In Maldives, villas are very popular among tourists as they offer great service coupled with the relaxation that comes with ‘island life’. When experiencing this life, do so at the fullest by going on some excursions. Turtle Point snorkelling is very popular as you’ll see a number of sea turtles, sharks, and the colourful fish species on which the famous ‘Nemo’ is based. When on an adventure at sea, few sights can beat that of a school of dolphins performing acrobatics at sea! Taking a boat ride alongside these beautiful creatures is an experience unto itself.
Put your fishing skills to the test as you indulge in some traditional Maldivian-style night fishing. You will use local methods and cast your hook and then end the night by having your catch for dinner.
Surfing and paragliding are very popular among tourists too. Whether you are a beginner or expert, you will find something that will put your test your talents.
