Maldives - The World’s Leading Destination
A famous beach destination and holiday spot for all kinds of travellers, the island nation of Maldives boasts of great weather all around the year. It remains sun-kissed throughout the year, therefore becoming an amazing place to visit at any time of the year.
However, the best time to visit Maldives is between the months of November and April, which marks the dry season here. From May to October, the weather remains high, with temperatures soaring to almost 30 degrees Celsius. It is during this time that travellers can enjoy a quiet holiday in Maldives, especially since there is less crowd. One can also partake in many adventurous water sports, including surfing and scuba diving.
The Thrilling Side of Life - under or over the surface of water: The Maldives is 99% water and just one percent land. There are water sports on offer. Some resorts prefer to offer their guests complete tranquillity without the sound of motorized engines that propel many a ride on the water. But even those resorts would offer relaxing canoe rides, wind surfing, snorkeling and diving. Bouncy banana rides, a solo ride trimming the waves on a jet ski or skimming the lagoon at high speeds on a wakeboard, for serious water sports enthusiast there is kite surfing, parasailing or just navigating solo around the reefs on a catamaran or you can plan your dive holiday with a range of dives with night dives and wreck dives that will sate your thirst for the underwater.
Fun Side of Life - that fuels your sense of excitement: Entertainment and daily excursions are on the menu wherever you are. Sandbanks that dazzle under the midday sun, snorkelling over pristine reefs, and experiencing local island towns is part of excursions. Night fishing or dolphin watching, swimming with whale sharks and mantas or beach volley, tennis, volleyball and badminton and many more…
Underwater experience - the colourful world beneath the surface: The Maldives is blessed with about 5% of the global reef area, and 250 species of coral, teeming with over 1000 species of fish. While some dedicate their holiday entirely to experience the magic underwater, others take a more leisurely approach.Underwater experiences. The under-ocean experience is unique with fully submerged underwater accommodation, dining and spa facilities positioned meters beneath the ocean surface. Instead of waking up to the sun on your face, now you can wake up to the colourful world of fishes and corals. And it is not just rooms; there are restaurants, spas and even clubs to make the experience even more worthwhile.
Spiritual - a journey that touches your soul: An opportunity to splurge on your mind, body and soul. Sprawling garden spas, with massage rooms merged into their lush tropical surroundings, or one built on stilts over the crystalline waters of the lagoon, it’s for you to choose. Immerse yourself in meditation. Just you and the boundless blue horizon, where the endless sea merges into the sky, with not a speck that distract you from your mind.
Maldivian sides of life - the shapes and skills: Visit any one of the country’s two hundred inhabited islands and observe our unique lifestyle, shaped over millennia, by the unique make-up of the tiny islands they inhabit and the seas that surrounds them. Our culture, cuisine and craft have been shaped by the resources that were available from our surroundings and the skills that were brought in by the waves of settlers from around the Indian Ocean, who made the islands their home, over thousands of years. Experience the relaxed attitude and style of islanders, which modernization has found impossible to change. Stroll on the beach, engage with the locals and get an insight into their lives. Who knows, you could get invited to visit one of their homes and meet their families.
Live Aboard Memories - a beautiful concept: A cruise on a liveaboard is an ideal way to explore the country; you are on the move throughout your holiday. It is much like a floating resort with different experiences onboard and offshore, offering you a glimpse of the colourful local life. In Maldives, there is something for everyone. Liveaboards are the pinnacle of combined concepts – guaranteed to give you a beautiful experience filled with memories to last a lifetime.
Authentic Local Food - eat like a local: Almost every island has at least one restaurant and is home to many small tea shops, but most importantly, you will never run out of options because of the warm hospitality. There are a myriad of specialties and variations from island to island alone than what usually lies on the surface.
Shipwrecks and Sunken Treasures - an experience by itself: Wreck diving, for many, is the ultimate experience. Maldives is an ideal destination for diving among caves, tunnels and shipwrecks. Some of the most spectacular shipwrecks lie on the ocean floor of this tropical diving paradise. Divers can get to witness how marine ecosystems adapt to take over these sunken relics, and explore the sunken treasures beneath the deep blue sea.
Swimming with Mantas: Mantas roam in groups entering channels and even the shallower lagoons of island along the reef edge. A ten-minute boat ride from your island and you can be in the water in the presence of mantas, gracefully swimming around you as they feed on the abundant plankton that rushes into the atoll with the tides, sometimes coming so close to you and staring right at you through your mask to check you out.
Flyboarding - pump up the adenaline: Flyboarding is an extreme sport taking water skiing to a new direction - upwards. It’s a thrill seeker’s dream that enables the participant to shoot up into the air and zoom over the waves. The flyboard itself is strapped to the feet of the user and is connected to a jet ski by a hose. The power of the jet ski emits water through the hose, jettisoned out at great pressure beneath the flyboard. This powers it and the fly boarder, supported by the hose, up to about 9m to 10m above the water. The fly boarder controls everything about the flyboard except how much power it’s receiving. The power portion of the experience is controlled by a certified instructor on the accompanying jet ski.
