Maldives is not only a paradise for honeymooners but it is a great place to unwind for solo travellers as well. A beautiful chain of tropical islands stretching across the north-central Indian Ocean, Maldives offers a taste of utter bliss for solitary wanderers.
Book your accommodation early
It is always a great idea to decide on lodging to suit your budget. If you would like to pamper yourself, a luxury resort in Maldives would be the perfect accommodation for you. If you are looking for something cheaper, try some of the guesthouses scattered across the islands.
Plan your activities
There are more than enough activities to keep you engaged during your trip to this exotic nation. Those staying at private island resorts like NH Collection Maldives can easily access snorkelling, surfing, diving, whale watching and spa therapies.
Packing essentials
Though swimwear is at the top of your list, pack some conventional and comfortable clothes like t-shirts, pants, sarongs, flowy dresses and skirts. High-quality sun cream, sunglasses, diving equipment like masks or snorkels, a hat or a bandana, a travel adaptor, a camera or a video camera – preferably waterproof – are extremely useful to enjoy your vacation to the fullest.
A taste of heaven

Foodies are in for a treat since the Maldives features a rich food culture. A fusion of favours from close by nations like Sri Lanka and India, most dishes are made using seafood and coconut. Must-try dishes include Garudhiya (fish soup), Rihaakuru (tuna-based sauce), and a variety of hedhikaa (finger food).
Safety measures
Safety comes to mind first when you are travelling in unfamiliar territories alone. The good news is that crime rates are significantly low in this part of the world compared with other popular travel destinations. Follow your regular travel safety guidelines and avoid approaching secluded areas.
