Looking to make your holidays to the Maldives a special one? Here are some experiences you should try that will help you do just that!
Snorkelling & Diving
These two activities offer unforgettable encounters especially in places like the North Male Atoll. Resorts such as OBLU NATURE Helengeli are ideal; it features a house reef near the shore in the middle of a channel at the atoll’s entrance offering both snorkelling and diving adventures to spot diverse marine species including sharks!
Staying at a Water Villa
For memorable stays in the Maldives, all inclusive resorts with water villa options are perfect especially if you haven’t experienced this form of accommodation. Part of the villa will be perched above a turquoise lagoon and can feature a terrace with sun loungers, a private plunge pool, stunning sunset views and direct access to the waters below.
Dolphin Watching
A fun family activity, dolphin watching is a great way to enjoy an ocean escapade and the chance to witness dolphins swimming wild and free. These adorable marine mammals are commonly spotted in the Maldives and it’s a real joy to watch them swim in pods and sometimes even frolic or leap above the waves!
Sunset Fishing
For another unique experience, look to enjoy sunset fishing the typical Maldivian way. Some resorts organise such excursions where you will set off aboard a dhoni which is a traditional local boat; employing the line fishing technique, you will patiently wait for that familiar tug while a spellbinding sunset unfolds on the horizon.
