If you have never been to the Maldives, you are in for a real treat! However, if you are looking for a very soul-soothing destination to visit, the Maldives is that place, unlike any experience you’ve ever had!
Tucked in a quiet corner of the Indian Ocean is an idyllic chain of islands. Known for its abundance of luxurious resorts and stunning natural beauty, the Maldives have earned their spot on most travelers’ bucket lists. However, the question remains, what do you do when you get to the Maldives? Aside from soaking up the sun, here are six must-have experiences in this tropical paradise.
Private Beach Picnic
If you are looking for peace, quiet, and a unique experience, a private beach is available. Enjoy a delicious gourmet meal prepared by a local chef as you sit back and enjoy your tranquil surroundings.
Snorkeling and Diving
Snorkeling and diving in the Maldives is an absolute must. The crystal clear turquoise waters provide you with excellent visibility. In addition, the abundance of reefs around the island will dazzle you with their collection of colorful and exotic fish.
Dhoni Sunset Cruise
Dhoni is a traditional Maldivian boat that makes it the perfect vessel for a sunset cruise. Watch the sun setting over the horizon as you cruise around the islands. You may even spot some spinner dolphins swimming by if you are lucky.
Try Mas Huni
For the traveler looking to experience the local flavor, mas huni is just the dish. This traditional Maldivian breakfast is finely chopped tuna, onion, coconut, and chili. While it is a far cry from eggs and bacon, you might be surprised by how much you enjoy the tangy and fresh flavor of mas huni.
Dance along to the Boduberu
The Boduberu is a traditional Maldivian performance consisting of rhythmic drumming, singing, and dancing. The atmosphere around the event is exhilarating and will give you a feel for the local culture and traditions.
Party it up on the island of Finolhu
Finolhu offers guests a refreshing twist on the standard Maldivian holiday, teeming with a fun yet laid-back retro charm. This tiny island is known for attracting famous DJs worldwide to host beach parties throughout the year. So if you ever need a change of pace while on vacation in the Maldives, then Finolhu is the place to go!
