Maldives: Islands of unparalleled beauty

Book your visit to Maldives

The Maldives, an archipelago of unparalleled beauty in the Indian Ocean, is well known as a tropical paradise. Renowned for its crystal-clear waters, pristine white-sand beaches, and awe-inspiring coral reefs, the Maldives offers a sanctuary of tranquillity and luxury. Each of the 1,000-plus islands presents a unique blend of natural splendour, making it an ideal destination for both unwinding and adventure.

Experience world-class snorkelling and diving, or indulge at a luxurious resort and spa. Explore the cultural richness of the Maldives’ capital, Male, which provides all kinds of insights into the archipelago’s storied past.

Whether you’re embarking on a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a solo retreat, the Maldives promises an inspiring and rejuvenating escape.

Things to do in Maldives

While there are many islands that appeal to travellers, Male is home to an array of attractions that are just as enriching. Start your exploration on Boduthakurufaanu Magu, the main thoroughfare of Male. From here, stroll through Sultan Park – an urban green oasis. Next, visit Jumhoree Maidan, also known as the Republic Square. Get adventurous and hire a motorbike to navigate the streets of Male instead.

Be captivated by The National Museum, housed in the palace of a former sultan. It contains various artefacts that narrate the history and culture of the Maldives.

Set foot in a spiritual landmark, The Friday Mosque. Marvel at the architecture – coral stone adorned with carvings and lacquer work.

Activities in Maldives

The Eastern side of Male boasts the best beaches, particularly in the Henveiru district. The immaculate sand is perfect for a typical Maldivian day, relaxing by the sea.

Venture off the coast of Male to one of the numerous islands the Maldives is famous for. The Fari Islands are close by and come highly recommended. Jet off on a short 45-minute speedboat ride, to a land of high-end resorts and stunning scenic allure.

If you’re a marine enthusiast, travel to the northern Male atoll. Dive in to the incredible underwater world for an opportunity to swim with colourful fish, manta rays, and even whale sharks.

If you’re seeking a few days of pure relaxation, make your way to the Kaafu atoll. Choose from a myriad of premium resorts for an indulgent holiday in the most idyllic setting.

Food in Maldives

Whether dining at a five-star resort or a local café, every meal in the Maldives is a celebration of the island’s culture and hospitality. Dine at one of the resort’s Maldividan Nights, where a buffet of national cuisine is served. At the heart of these dishes is the flavours of coconut and tuna, iconic ingredients in this island country.

Try mashuni roti, a breakfast staple of shredded tuna mixed with coconut, onions, and chilli with warm flatbread. Other traditional meals to order include hedhika – a snacking plate of tuna, coconut, potato and egg; and mas kashi – a popular dish of dried fish and coconut.

Outside of tuna and coconut, the Maldives has a vibrant café scene that captures the essence of relaxed island life.

Shopping in Maldives

Maldivian shopping is lowkey compared to its neighbouring Asian countries, with beachside boutiques and markets to wander through rather than super malls. Take some time to browse Male’s Local Market. It stocks everything from fresh fruit and vegetables, to beautifully handcrafted souvenirs.

Look for a thudkuna, an authentic Maldivian mat made by local artisans. Marvel at the many items that can be crafted from coconut, and admire the artfully designed sarongs.

The food markets in the Maldives are a tourist attraction in their own right. Stop at one to experience the thriving atmosphere of a Maldivian market, and discover exotic fish and fruits you may not have seen before.
