The Maldives is the kind of place you go to if your holidays revolve around relaxing. Sitting peacefully in the Indian Ocean, you’ll feel like you’re miles away from everything when you arrive at your resort by seaplane. So, don’t expect a long list of things to do when you get there.
Spend your days admiring the serene turquoise waters before walking barefoot along its silky sands. Don’t miss the chance to explore paradise, though!
• Climb aboard a catamaran and do some island-hopping. For sightseeing, culture and nightlife, stay near Malé, home to the medieval Old Friday Mosque, the Maldives’ National Museum and the bustling Produce Market, a people-watcher’s dream!
• When it comes to snorkelling and scuba diving, the Maldives is world-famous for its house reefs. Once you’re below the waves, keep your eyes peeled for turtles, baby sharks and eagle rays. Try the Baa Atoll Biosphere Reserve for some of the best!
• Or, pay a visit to one of the Maldives’ underwater restaurants, where you can dine in the company of sharks. We love Ithaa Undersea Restaurant at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island!
• For nature-watching of a different kind, visit the wetlands of Addu Nature Park, which is about as far south as you can go in the Maldives.
