Not Sure What to Do in the Maldives? We’ve Got You Covered

The very first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions the Maldives is the pearly white sand and bright azure waters glistening in the sun. A tropical getaway from the exhausting daily grind. Save for some rain, the country stays sunny and holds a moderate temperature for the majority of the year. There is no question why it has been dubbed the sunny side of life.

Why visit the Maldives? Some say it is overhyped and surely, it must be boring to sunbathe all day. That could not be further away from the truth. You will be happy to know there is a lot to do if you want a

complete experience. There is an abundance of lush greenery, marine life, and rich history.

With a vast selection of guesthouses and resorts available for your choosing, there is something for everyone. Some are exclusively for adults, while others are kid-friendly spots ideal for family and group vacations. As for recreation, there is always too much to do and too little time. You can surf some of the best breaks in the world, or go island hopping. Maybe indulge in a lavish massage while the wind and the waves serenade you.

If you are into history and architecture, it is an absolute must to check out the intricate stone carvings that decorate dated buildings such as the Friday Mosque. Discover Maldivian culture through the work of master craftsmen and women through the ages. ‘Liyelaa jehun’ (lacquer work), and ‘kasabu viyun’ (embroidery) are intricate practices that require great talent and skill.

Maldives is known as the ideal honeymoon destination for good reason. The sun, sand and sea create the perfect romantic setting to enjoy time with your loved ones. But it does not end there; come nightfall, the starry sky sets the stage for candlelit dinners and walks along the shore. If you are visiting around the summer season, you may chance upon bioluminescent phytoplankton, lighting up the ocean like stars in the sky.
