The Beaches
As the main reason why most tourists head to the archipelago in the first place, the Maldives’ popularity is largely due to its mesmerising beaches. Unspoiled and pristine, the white, sandy beaches of the country differ from those in Thailand and even neighbouring Sri Lanka due to the water’s clarity and the lack of beachfront buildings and other human constructions. Peaceful and secluded, Maldivian beaches are little pieces of haven separated from the trappings of beach towns.
The Resort Islands
Whether it’s resort isles such as the Grand Park Kodhipparu Maldives or any other, the Maldives over water villas and the uniquely luxurious accommodation options at one’s disposal also makes the country quite special. Where else but in the Maldives can one stay in a hotel suite suspended above the ocean or reside in a pool villa on a deck that extends from the shore to the water?
The Water Sports Activities
Offering ideal conditions for engaging in a wide range of water-bound activities, the Maldives is a dream destination for surfers, scuba divers and snorkellers. Apart from canoe rides around the coastline, some of the best things to do during a Maldivian holiday include jet-skiing windsurfing or paddleboarding.
The Excursions
From whale and dolphin watching tours to sunset cruises and fishing trips, the number of excursions tourists can sign up for in the Maldives is truly impressive. Available through most resorts, these experiences are what make a getaway in the Maldives a extra special.
