As a destination that’s on everyone’s bucket list, the Maldives offers travellers a wealth of new experiences. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your getaway in the islands.
Time the Trip
Although the Maldives is touted as a year-round vacation hub, it is best to time your visit to coincide with the sunnier months of the year. The peak tourist season from December to March is deemed the best time to holiday in the paradise isles as the weather conditions are picture-perfect and ideal for engaging in outdoor activities. Avoid the monsoon season from May to October as the inclement weather can dampen your chances of enjoying all that the Maldives has to offer, especially in terms of excursions.
Sign up for Water Sports
While it’s perfectly acceptable to spend your Maldivian holiday sprawled out on a sun lounger, a stay in the archipelago would be incomplete without enjoying water-based activities. Offering ideal conditions for nearly every water sports activity imaginable, the Maldives is a one-stop destination for water-bound fun. From scuba diving, snorkelling and surfing to water skiing, parasailing and jet skiing, the choices are seemingly endless. Those without strong swimming skills can also sign up for banana boat rides during a trip to the Maldives.
Explore Excursion Options
Tourists based at Baros Maldives and similar hotels will find that Maldives excursions are not simply limited to island-hopping tours and whale-watching safaris. Some of the best excursions to sign up for include kayaking expeditions around the coast and catamaran sailing adventures.
Schedule a Day in Male
Although most visitors give it a miss, the Maldivian capital is a cultural heartland ideal for a day tour. From touring the presidential palaces to enjoying a shopping spree at Chaandhanee Magu, there’s much to see and do in the city.
