Sunset cruises are just another expression for paradise on earth. The shimmering blue waters getting touched by the last rays of sunlight while you just sit back and float along puts back the zest in life. A brilliant sunset is the world’s way of letting you know that a beautiful day has officially come to an end, and when the world says goodbye in Maldives, it does so with utter flamboyance, vivid coloring, soft winds, and an aura of peace. When in the region to experience these miraculous phenomena, visitors can find lodging at one of the Maldives Villas. These are available at W Retreat & Spa Maldives, where one can recharge in stylish rooms while dipping their toes in crystal blue waters teeming with fish and garnished with colorful reefs.
Enjoying a Maldivian horizon doesn’t get any better than when cruising towards it on a boat, maybe with a glass of champagne on the deck with your loved ones. The sights and the distinct spread of color across the never-ending skies alone make the ride worthwhile, but something that gives a touch of adventure to this cruise is the sighting of a dolphin. Yes, dolphins are common to these waters and are an added luxury whose sight is cherished when it comes to sunset cruises. These friendly creatures can be seen showing off alone or in entire schools right in their native habitats.
Sunset cruises can be booked all over the Maldives, especially on local dhonis, which are wooden boats made by master craftsmen. So the next time your on the islands, make it an obligation to book a ride on a dreamboat taking you to that heaven where the light connects the ocean and the sky.
