Indulge in Spa Bliss
While staying at luxurious villas is a great way to unwind, for true holistic healing, enjoy pampering at a resort spa; some Maldives resort packages will include spa treatments for families and couples too. Highlights can include traditional Thai massages, Ayurvedic therapies, Maldivian coconut scrubs, bath rituals, facial care and yoga.
Snorkelling & Diving
Destinations like the Raa Atoll are ideal for snorkelling and diving. Resorts such as Dhigali Maldives additionally offer access to a nearby house reef where both these activities can be easily tried; on your adventures, you may spot batfish, eagle rays, bannerfish, lionfish, turtles, sharks and depending on the season, manta rays as well.
Enjoy Other Water Sports
There are diverse water sports in Maldives, so choose a resort that offers the best of them. Go on guided jet-ski tours, enjoy the thrills of banana boating or soar up above with a loved one on a tandem parasail; you can also zip along the water while wakeboarding or explore the ocean on a glass-bottom kayak!
Head Off on Excursions
For more discoveries, you can embark on rewarding excursions. Depending on the resort, you can enjoy a cruise to spot dolphins or take in magical sunsets, view marine life on a glass-bottom boat ride or head off on fishing trips. You can also visit deserted islands or sandbanks for a memorable castaway picnic.
