Things to do in maldives

Are you looking for a tropical getaway that is out of the ordinary? Someplace with pristine white sandy beaches, clear blue water and opportunities for fun and relaxing in the sun? Then you need to consider Maldives.
Many activities await you! The bulk of this entertainment is in the form of beach and water activities, as there are many beaches, rocks and pleasant waters to have fun in.

Booking a liveaboard to take you around the islands is the perfect way to see the area. You can dive to the Maldives Victory shipwreck, or snorkel in Banana Reef, Shark Point where you can encounter friendly Gray sharks, or on Manta Point, where you will get to see manta rays up close. The liveaboards provide good food, great cocktails and an opportunity to have the ideal day.

Other activities include windsurfing, para-sailing, taking a catamaran out for a spin, or sport fishing for sailfish, tuna or barracuda. If you prefer something more private and relaxed, your hotel concierge can book a private picnic to an uninhabited island. Take a stroll around of the capital island of Male, or see it on a bike. It is picturesque with friendly people and great scenery. Or, relax in the wonderful spa facilities of your hotel with a massage or mud bath.

When the sun goes down, the activities continue. Most of the resorts have a discotheque, where you can dance or just listen to good music and have some cocktails. You can also try out karaoke or dine in comfort at a restaurant featuring fresh local seafood. If you still have the energy for something more, night fishing is a sport to try.

So, if you are looking for a new tropical paradise to discover, Maldives is the perfect place to make some memories.

Scuba-diving

Known as perhaps the best place to dive in the world, scuba-diving is the number one activity in the Maldives. More than half of all visitors to the islands take a fascinating trip underwater to explore the countless reefs and their spectacular array of marine life. Each resort has a professional dive centre, offering equipment and instruction for all levels, and an extensive dive schedule.

Surfing

The Maldives is fast becoming a popular spot for surfing, having been a recent host of international competitions, with some good surfs found on the edges of the South Male atolls. The best surfing conditions can be found further down south, with the biggest swells occurring during low-season between June and August. . If you travel by liveaboard you have the best chance of selecting a perfect site for surfing.
