You may have already heard the Maldives is extraordinary, and while that’s definitely true, you also get some one-of-a-kind experiences that make it truly magical. If it’s going to be your first time here (or even if you have visited before), this is a glimpse of how to make your holiday unforgettable indeed.
Enjoy a Luxury Escape on a Private Island
Indulge in a luxury getaway at a resort that sits on its own private island in a place like the Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Ideal properties like Milaidhoo Maldives not only offer sublime seclusion for a romantic escape amidst awe-inspiring scenery but unique stay options, too; unwind at a water villa with an infinity pool and direct access to a lagoon or be taken to a sandbank where you can curl up together in a four-poster bed as you sleep under starry skies!
Dine Amidst Breathtaking Backdrops
You will also have the chance to enjoy private dining at various enchanting locations. Begin your day with a floating breakfast in the private pool of your villa, and later, be whisked away to a nearby sandbank for a picnic or BBQ lunch. Of course, the soft sandy beach remains a classic choice for romantic dinners, while for something different, share a meal for two on a traditional boat.
Keep in mind that there are also diverse resort restaurants to choose from, and options like the Milaidhoo gourmet plan are ideal since you can enjoy dining and drinks the whole day through.
Snorkel with Manta Rays in Hanifaru Bay
Yes, snorkelling in Maldives is not to be missed, but in Hanifaru Bay in the Baa Atoll, you get the chance to do so amidst hundreds of manta rays! During particular months (generally from May to November), the bay sees an increase in plankton that attracts these majestic creatures and even whale sharks. The ideal choice would be to stay at a resort that offers guided snorkelling trips to this destination in the company of a marine biologist.

Indulge in Spa Rituals Under the Stars
The perfect option for couples, certain resort spas not only offer rejuvenating treatments in a wellness sanctuary indoors but outdoors as well. Experience a full-body massage which combines both Eastern and Western techniques, followed by a face-lifting massage as well as a collagen-rich mask to leave you feeling truly revitalised. The great thing is that this treatment can be enjoyed to the soothing sounds of the sea and as the stars shine bright above!
