Romance, adventure, the magic of beauty unfolding in barefoot luxury… these are the words that say it all of the islands of Maldives. It’s the perfect natural combination for the ideal tropical destination. Turquoise lagoons surrounding the glistening beaches of so many randomly dotted islands, Maldives is a dreamlike picture of a thousand gems scattered on a bed of blue velvet, fading into the distance as the sea merges with the sky.  

There are so many things to do and sights to see with a holiday in the Maldives! Take a tour and wander around Malé's National Museum, located in Sultan’s Park, which possesses a superb collection of artefacts, including Sultanese thrones and palanquins. The Bea Atoll shows off the practice of traditional arts and crafts where Maldives is known to excel. Another sight worthy to see is the beautiful 17th century Hukuru (or Friday Mosque); the Islamic Centre topped with a magnificent golden globe.

Also known to the world as a treasure trove of marine life, Maldives has earned itself as being one of the best diving destinations in the world.  All of the resorts have professional dive schools with fully qualified multilingual instructors offering a range of courses. Dive schools organise daily dive boat trips to sites around the islands throughout the year.

Some of the best dive sites include the Maldives Victory Wreck which sank in 1981 and which lies on the western side of Hulule Island, Mushimasmingili Thila (Shark Thila) renowned for its abundance in fish (notably grey reef shark), and Banana Reef, where strong currents make for an exceptionally abundant marine life. Other dive sites would be the Guraidhoo Corner, Kuda Rah Thila and the oval-shaped North Barros and so many more.  

With 99 percent of its total area consisting of water, Maldives has some of the world’s best fishing grounds. Many resorts offer fishing trips on modern speedboats equipped for big game fishing. Night fishing for groupers, snappers, squirrelfish or barracuda is particularly popular. Fishing trips will usually end with a barbecue at the resort with the day’s catch being cooked and eaten.  

How about spending a day and a night on an uninhabited island, basking in the glory of solitary bliss? A Holiday in the Maldives offers just that with an island hopping tour. Or, one can also visit a fishing village with a trip to an uninhabited island. Traditional boats (dhoni) or speedboats can be hired privately. 

An added treat?  Often, a beach barbecue will be served! 

It’s a perfect end to a perfect day in the perfect place. For Maldives, it’s all about adventure, romance and fun in the world’s most magical islands.
