Sure, you may have heard about all the divine beachside bliss and fun water sports the Maldives offers, but there’s SO much more to experience here. If you are looking to take your getaway to the next level, these are some unique things to do that not everyone knows about.
You Can Snorkel with Manta Rays
Snorkelling here is incredible, but apart from seeing the usual colourful reef fish, you can also look forward to swimming alongside majestic manta rays. Stay at resorts like Kuramathi Maldives in the North Ari Atoll, which offer such excursions to witness these gentle giants feeding on plankton, which will sometimes look like a graceful underwater dance!
You Can Have a Floating Breakfast
In case you are wondering, this kind of breakfast is not going to magically hover in the air, but rather, float in the water! At select resorts, a morning feast is served on a floating tray in Maldives villas that have private pools. It’s not every day you can indulge in yummy pastries, tropical fruits, and a freshly brewed cup of coffee or tea in a pool set amidst spellbinding Indian Ocean vistas.
You Can Take a Ride in a Semi-Submarine
It will come as a surprise that not all underwater exploration requires you to get wet, as long as your resort has its own semi-submarine! This air-conditioned vessel offers a front-row seat to mesmerising corals and fascinating denizens of the deep. Suffice it to say that it’s an adventure perfect for families, non-swimmers, or anyone looking to venture beneath the waves without strapping on a snorkel.
You Can Enjoy Nightlife Under the Stars
Forget crowded city nightclubs, because nightlife in Maldives is all about laid-back island vibes. Choose the right resort and get ready to dance the night away at a starlit beach disco as a resident DJ spins the hottest tracks. For something even more unique, you can experience open-air movie nights right on secluded sands, with a sky full of stars adding to the magic!
