Enticing beaches made up of powdery white sand, gorgeous sunsets and invitingly warm oceans teeming with exotic fish are hard to resist, so pack your bags and head out to Maldives.
Best beach holidays
The country offers sun-bleached white sands that are inviting to lie back on and bask in the sun; while glistening oceans and lagoons that are hard to resist are ideal for swimming, snorkelling, diving and enjoying a kayak safari. Island hopping, water sports galore and a chance to savour an exotic culture are all part of a Maldivian beach holiday. There are idyllic Maldives island resorts the likes of Adaaran Select Meedhupparu spread across the atolls.
Take scuba diving lessons
If you have not experienced the splendour of the ocean depths do plan on taking PADI diving courses in the Maldives. Just about every luxury resort and dive centre in the nation offers this facility. It’s open for ages 10 and above; offering expert instructors and all safety precautions.
Absorb the local culture
Look for a laid-back tourist guesthouse on one of the local islands to spend a few days at. Ask your travel agent about such deals and you will appreciate the laid-back vibes and simple lifestyles of Maldivians around these village islands. Enjoy the sunsets, chat with locals, take a traditional Dhoni ride across the waves and let the magic of the archipelago overwhelm you.
