Plan your trip

Just unwind! The islands are the perfect place to simply kick back on your private deck and relax to the view of perfect turquoise water whilst you sip on a cocktail. Many resorts have spas and treatments so that you can treat yourself to a full pamper or a massage.
Get thrilled- The Maldives are a top-notch choice for water sports enthusiasts. Diving, fishing and surfing are popular pursuits that draw people to the islands. There is an unbelievable underwater world to be discovered so pack your snorkel and you will be able to swim with tropical fish, manta rays and even friendly whale sharks! Plus, its warm enough to swim and even deep sea dive in just your bathers!
Gorge on fresh seafood! The abundance of marine life means an abundance of freshly caught seafood to enjoy! The cuisine is a mix of Arabic, Southern Indian and oriental flavours. Male, the capital has an array of dining options, and most resorts will serve top-quality fresh cuisine. You can even dine in an underwater restaurant!
Island hop- with 2,000 islands which are each essentially a resort, it may be the hardest choice deciding where to go! But, with water taxis and boat charters readily available, a holiday to the Maldives means it is easy to explore lots of the islands and swim on different beaches each day.
Explore the capital- the Maldivian capital seems a world away from the laid-back lifestyle of the island, but is certainly worth a visit. It’s a fascinating place and a great way to experience the ‘real’ Maldives away from resorts: here you can take in the brightly coloured architecture, lively markets and great restaurants.
