Maldives, one of the most beautiful island nations across the globe, is known to charm its tourists in an unparalleled way! Located in the Indian Ocean, this cluster of small, quaint and picturesque islands is very close to India as well as Sri Lanka. Known for its brilliantly blue skies, its refreshingly white sands and its stunning sun kissed beaches, this country has oodles of natural beauty to offer to its tourists! Otherwise a strictly Muslim country, Maldives has opened its arms to embrace tourists from all across the globe, of course, with certain regulations to ensure that the religious sentiment of the nation stands unharmed. Right from tranquil beaches to playful dolphins and magnificent sharks, this holiday destination will help you explore way more than you could have ever imagined! And if this isn’t enough, read on for some of the most exciting endeavours on your holiday that will make Maldives every bit worth of your precious time!

 

1. Banana Reef

If you’re in Maldives, you have to try diving! Trust us, there’s no experience more divine than soaking in the clear turquoise blue waters of the ocean, while encountering some of the most beautiful species of fish! Often referred to as the ‘Diver’s Paradise’, the Banana Reef is one of the most sought after diving locations. Right from the magnificent Banner Fish with its monochromatic stripes to the splendid squirrelfish, along with hoards of Maldivian Grubfish and Soldier-Fish, the waters of the Banana Reef ensure that you get to witness it all! The most exhilarating part about this reef is that it houses some splendid underwater caves which give way to a fairly wide range of marine flora and fauna. While notorious for some turbulence at times, sticking to the walls of these caves will ensure a seamless underwater experience for you. For those who wish to explore the aquatic life and the coral reef in the best possible manner, scuba diving is an ideal alternative. People who like to get a wider view from the top can comfortably snorkel around!

 

2. Sunset Cruise

Let us tell you that every evening that you spend in this wondrous island nation would be an experience of a lifetime, but just in case you wish to make it just a tad bit more memorable, don’t forget to set sail on a Sunset Cruise! After all, what could possibly be more mesmerising than to experience a wondrous sunset from amidst the vastness of the ocean! What’s more is that most cruises would offer you a complimentary glass of wine or champagne to make the experience more blissful! And if that wasn’t enough, we’re sure you will be fairly charmed by the presence of some playful dolphins en-route! Now that you know what’s there in store, make sure you keep an evening away for this one of a kind experience!

 

3. Tour a Local Island

While staying at a plush resort island seems to be the first choice of many, we highly recommend that you visit at least one of the smaller islands, and experience the local culture and the subtle nuances of the everyday life of the natives! While this will help you explore newer avenues of life, it would also help you spend a day or two in a rather reasonable manner! The more known islands will definitely have some reputable guesthouses where you can dine and spend the night. However, if you do visit a fairly small island, you might have to take an evening ferry back to your resort island! While this is an experience not many dream of, it is nonetheless worth every bit of your time, money and efforts! As they say, “When you travel a foreign country, remember that it isn’t designed to make you feel comfortable. Instead, it is designed for its own people!”

 

4. Just soak in the sun and the sand

With our hyper-connected and busy lives, the most awesome thing to do in Maldives is – NOTHING! Just chill on the beach, enjoy the sunshine, take an occasional dip in the water, and feel yourself getting rejuvenated and connected with your inner self. Maldives offers some of the best beaches in the world, and there is no better place to find some peace and quiet.

 

5. Enjoy Underwater Dining

Now this is something that can only be rarely experienced, and hence is the most highly recommended of all that’s there on this list! Ithaa Underwater Restaurant is the world’s first restaurant that is built underwater! Made entirely of glass, this awe-inspiring dining destination rests 16 feet under the surface of the Indian Ocean. Stunningly designed to impeccable perfection, this restaurant can only entertain 14 guests at any given point in time. Offering a unique panoramic view of the exquisite marine life, this restaurant is something that must be put into your bucket list right away! While it would definitely make for one of the most cherished romantic dates with your partner, this restaurant will prove to be equally remarkable if you take your kids along! You must remember one thing however, the restaurant entertains only the guests staying at the Conrad Rangalli Resort. You can enjoy a similar experience at the Sea Restaurant in Anantara Kihavah Maldives, which again is open to its resident guests only!

 

Now that you know all the amazing things to do on your upcoming holidays to Maldives, you better start picking a date for the trip, and getting your friends and family hooked to the idea!
