Though the Maldives is famed for being an ideal destination for families and couples, it’s also well-suited for solo travellers and here’s how to experience such an independent holiday.
Stay at a Resort Island
While you will get options for the best family resort in the Maldives, don’t forget that these private island properties can be enjoyed by solo sojourners too; don’t worry, you will have plenty of privacy as well! You can choose to stay at a stand-alone and fully detached villa by the beach or built over a lagoon. Treat yourself to one that comes with a private pool, while features such as free Wi-Fi, a complimentary minibar replenished daily and dedicated butler service are great to have too.
Enjoy Dining & Entertainment
Going on foodie adventures is one of the joys of solo travel and a resort island is perfect for such experiences. An ideal choice would be an all-inclusive package on offer at properties like OBLU SELECT Sangeli where you can savour local and international culinary highlights throughout the day; it also features unlimited beverages including selected spirits, wines, beers, and cocktails which is perfect! There will be lots of entertainment too with theme nights, music by live bands or DJs and more.
Indulge in Spa Bliss
The Maldives is also one of the best places for a wellness retreat, while you can treat yourself to a spa day at a resort as well. You can look forward to holistic healing with a range of treatments that combine elements of traditional rituals and modern therapies; this includes influences from local wellness traditions such as a Maldivian sand bundle massage and coconut body scrubs. The serenity of a private island provides the perfect backdrop for yoga at the beach as well, a great way to begin and end the day.
Experience Fun Adventures
For solo travellers looking to add some thrills to their holiday, there are diverse water sports in Maldives to enjoy. Look to stay at an all-inclusive resort that offers complimentary use of snorkelling equipment as well as kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding as part of the package. The ideal property will also have a dive centre offering SSI and PADI courses along with exhilarating activities like jet-skiing, flyboarding and parasailing. You can look forward to sunset fishing and dolphin watching too which add to the fun.
