The appeal of the Maldives lies in its beaches, its waters, and its resorts, where man has successfully taken advantage of some of the most beautiful stretches of paradise in the world that you can ever see – an archipelago that enchants its visitors, ready to lull them into a state of complete self-satisfaction and comfort. Although it may be a little tedious and complicated in comparison to staying in one resort, island hopping is the name of the game, when it comes to getting the full experience. Whether it’s the pricey seaplane or the bumpy speedboat, hopping is much easier than it seems.
Pick the right accommodation
The nature of your trip is always determined by a few things – whether you’re travelling alone, what kind of activities you’d like to do, or what things you’d like to see. While you’ll definitely have some shared activities amongst the many five-star resorts in the Maldives, it’s always best to do a little bit of research so you know exactly where you’d like to go because there really is as much accommodation as there are kinds of travels. From luxury spa retreats to cosy little over-water getaways for two, to a resort for maximum opulence – you’ve got free rein.
Prioritize your dining and shelter
It might be a wise choice to choose your lodgings according to the simple needs – food and shelter. As basic as it is, you know you’ll be happier when you’ve got a good meal and a comfy bed. If you’re lucky, the time and place of your visit will have some all-inclusive packages and offers to suit your stay to a tee. You don’t want to miss out on some of the exquisite international and local cuisine, as well as some of the most comfortable resorts, such as The Residence Maldives Dhigurah.
Don’t stay cooped up in your room
Although it may sound counterintuitive to “relaxing”, and even to our previous advice, the point that we’re trying to make here is to go out and see more than the decorations inside your room! The Maldivian archipelago has some of the most beautiful sights in the world – azure and white, juxtaposed in some of the most beautiful combinations on this side of the world. There’s also some impressive marine life, ranging from whale sharks and turtles, that you can meet and greet with no trouble at any point of the year.
Some things to consider before you hop
One of the biggest benefits of island-hopping is that you get to see many things from many areas in the Maldives. Different vibes, resorts, and activities, make your trip as unpredictable as possible. Remember not to try to visit everywhere, or to go to too many places in one sitting – it’ll burn you out, as you’ll most likely have to transfer back to Male every time you’d like to go to a different region.
