Maldives Holiday highlights

Explore the oceans

One of the more unusual experiences is to swim with hammerhead sharks at Hammerhead Point (or Rasdhoo Madivaru) in the Rasdhoo Atoll. Descend to 30 metres in the deep blue sea and observe their feeding frenzy. Only be careful not to be too critical of their eating habits. Alternatively, you can always go swimming with whale sharks – the world’s largest fish – in the Ari Atoll. If you don’t know how to dive already, then the Maldives makes for a great – and warm – place to learn how to dive without a wetsuit. Most resorts can arrange courses run by professional staff to the highest international safety standards.

Find your own paradise

Away from the water, you can become a castaway in luxury. Whichever resort you choose to stay at during your Maldives holidays, they are bound to offer you a castaway experience. The resort staff will take you by a traditional dhoni sailboat and drop you off on your own deserted island with pre-arranged picnic, and then return to pick you up long before your facial growth has reached Tom Hanks proportions.

The Culture

To immerse yourself more with the local culture, you could always stay in a guest house rather than a luxury resort for a few days. There you can interact with Maldivians, eat the local cuisine and even go fishing with them. The further away you are from the capital Male then the more authentic your local experience will be. The cultural highlight of a Maldives holiday must be experiencing a bodu beru dance and drum performance, whether in your resort or perhaps in Male. Watch the all-male drummers increase the tempo until the dramatic climax as the performers enter into a trance like state
