A holiday to the Maldives provides much to experience and if you have four days or more to spend in this tropical paradise, here are some tips to plan your itinerary.
Arrival & Relaxation
To save time, consider a resort in the North Male Atoll which can easily be reached by speedboat from the international airport. For accommodation, choose a beach or overwater bungalow with a pool to unwind after you arrive. Also, make use of onsite wellness facilities; if you stay at Huvafen Fushi Maldives, try the world’s only underwater spa treatment rooms!
Water Sports
Set aside time to enjoy water sports in the Maldives; island resorts will offer guided house reef snorkelling and diving for fun underwater escapades. You can also try water-skiing, wakeboarding, parasailing, jet-skiing and fun tube rides; choose a property that offers complimentary activities too like kayaking, paddle-boarding, windsurfing, zayaking and Topcat catamaran sailing.
Excursions
You can add various excursions to the itinerary depending on your interests. A dolphin-watching cruise is something the whole family can enjoy and is not to be missed, while you can also go fishing and have your catch prepared for a meal! Some resorts will let you charter a private yacht where you can journey to other islands and atolls.
Special Experiences
On your holiday, there are some special experiences you should also look to include like a beach dinner, which is especially romantic. Certain properties may have a wine cellar offering fine wines and degustation menus, while amongst the other highlights are private hatha yoga sessions and movie screenings under the stars which make for memorable moments.
