To take a holiday to the Maldives is to enjoy truly blissful experiences amidst a sun soaked enchantment that no amount of words can do justice to. That being said, for those who haven’t been here yet, these words will have to suffice for now! It hopefully will provide an idea of the sweet life that awaits be it at breathtaking natural settings or at one of the luxury hotels Maldives has to offer.
An ideal way to kick start your adventure in the Maldives is by taking a seaplane flight. It provides wonderful perspectives and panoramas of this corner of paradise from the shades of azure and aquamarine to the tropical island havens surrounded by the Indian Ocean.
One of the best things to do in Maldives is indulging in a luxurious spa treatment, with the secluded serenity of the islands providing the perfect backdrop for true rejuvenation. Each resort has its own signature therapies and options like the LIME Spa at PER AQUUM Huvafen Fushi Maldives offer something unique; a chance to enjoy holistic healing in an underwater treatment space!
Being made up of countless islands, it stands to reason that the Maldives has lots to offer in terms of water sports. The crystal clear waters here are perfect for snorkelling and most often one can see vibrant coral and marine life within reach of the shore. Of course if your budget allows it, look to stay in an over water room or villa, providing direct access to the soothing waters below. Snorkelling is just one of the many water sports one can try here which include scuba diving, surfing and jet skiing.
Once you feel fully revitalised, look to enjoy a cruise out to sea be it on a traditional dhoni, a luxury yacht or a speed boat. Sunset is one of the best times for such an activity, and traversing the waves to the distant horizon as the sun sets the sky ablaze is a sight truly worth witnessing. If you are lucky, a pod of dolphins may even accompany you on your journey.
As the day draws to a close look to get your resort to organise a beachside dinner; an intimate meal set against the backdrop of an endless ocean and its soothing serenade as the stars come out to play overhead, is as romantic as you can get.
