While it’s easy to find things to do in Maldives, some resorts offer distinctive experiences that make a getaway even more special and here are a few well worth trying.
Go Night Snorkelling
When it comes to water sports in the Maldives, things to do always include snorkelling; while this activity is certainly captivating by day, it becomes more intriguing and adventure-filled when tried at night! Certain resorts offer such guided nocturnal escapades where you can encounter everything from lionfish to octopus; with the use of yellow mask filters and UV lights, you can see magical bioluminescence around you too.
Indulge in Underwater Spa Rituals
For holistic rejuvenation amidst an ethereal setting under the waves, you can look to experience wellness rituals at an underwater spa! The world’s first such spa can be found at Huvafen Fushi Maldives where guests will be treated to sublime pampering, eight metres below the water’s surface; apart from revitalising massages and other treatments you can enjoy amazing views of the reef and diverse marine life as well.
Embark on Sunset Fishing
The Maldives is ideal for big game fishing, but for those looking to experience something more local, this activity is not to be missed. You will get the chance to try traditional Maldivian fishing at sunset which is an integral part of local life. Stay at a resort that offers sunset fishing with knowledgeable staff who will not only help you learn the techniques involved but will also have your catch prepared and served for you once back!
Enjoy Destination Dining
For unique dining in Maldives, you can have a meal with that special someone on a secluded sandbank where it will just be the two of you! See if your resort will organise a picnic lunch on a sandbank or a sandbank dinner where you can catch a magical sunset and savour a delectable four-course meal. For a change of scenery, some properties will offer breakfast or dinner with unbelievable views in a dining space of an underwater venue.
