The Maldives is tipped to be a beach hotspot for the masses; however, there’s more to the Maldives than sea baths and pool time. Here are some of the most extraordinary holiday activities that you can enjoy in the Maldives.
Go Whale Watching
Although most holidaymakers are unaware of it, the Maldives is one of Asia’s top whale-watching destinations where blue whales and sperm whales are visible during specific times of the year. Those who head to the islands between December and March (the peak travel season) can easily sign up for a whale-watching safari where you will not only get to witness the world’s largest mammal in the wild but also schools of dolphins.
Island Hopping in Paradise
As an activity that is only possible in a geographical setup such as that of the Maldives, island hopping can be the main focus of your Maldivian getaway. Cruising from one pristine uninhabited island to another, an island-hopping tour can also include other activities including snorkelling and sea kayaking sessions.
Spa Retreats
Those who are staying at Adaaran Club Rannalhi and other luxury rests will also find that the Maldives is a prime location for spa holidays. In fact, spas are some of the best highlights in the Maldives. Places to visit for decadent spa therapies in the archipelago are as varied as the marine creatures occupying the coast. Specialising in Ayurvedic, Swedish, Balinese and Thai spa therapies, the exclusive spa facilities in the Maldives are some of the best in the region.
Diving, Snorkelling and Water Sports Holidays
With HP Reef and Manta Point to its name, the Maldives is a dream destination for scuba divers and snorkellers. Wave riders will also find that surfing holidays are another popular option in the Maldives where surfing conditions are ideal for beginners and experts.
