The Maldives is made up of 1190+ islands, all different in their own unique ways. The geography of Maldives alone is something one would not get tired of observing. Visit any one of the country’s 200 inhabited islands and observe our unique lifestyle, shaped over millennia, by the unique make-up of the tiny islands they inhabit and the seas that surround them. Experience the relaxed attitude and style of islanders, which modernization has found impossible to change. Stroll on the beach, engage with the locals and get an insight into their lives.
Get Adventurous
If you love the ocean, there is no limit to the experiences you can have here in the Maldives. From swimming in shallow waters, snorkelling on rich coral reefs, scuba diving with colourful fishes, deep diving to explore the depth of the ocean, or participating in a thrilling water sports activity: we’ve got something for everyone. The Maldives has many dive spots, brimming with unimaginably gorgeous coral reefs and marine creatures. There are unlimited water sports activities, from riding jet skis, glass bottom boats and canoes, to catamaran sailing, kite surfing, and even parasailing for the adventurous.
Pamper your taste buds
Maldivian food is a must-try for whenever you visit the Maldives; it is readily available in all local islands and resorts. It is a rich assemblage of traditional flavors with strong influences from neighboring countries. It offers a wide range of tastes and flavors, guaranteed to take you on a gastronomical journey like no other.
One of the most popular dishes, “Mas Huni” is a breakfast staple among most locals and quite popular among tourists as well. Another crowd-pleaser is “Garudhiya” and “Baiy” which is essentially fish soup and rice. “Bon’di Baiy” (sweetened sticky rice) is a common dessert, mostly during festive seasons and the birth of a child. For evening tea, “Hedhikaa” (short eats) are a must. Some of the most popular hedhikaa are “Kulhi Boakibaa” (fish cake/pie), “Bajiyaa” (samosa like, but smaller) and “Mas Roshi” (tuna and grated coconut cakes).
