<\/p>\nFor a holiday destination to enjoy universal liking is no easy feat. The Maldives is among the few places that never fails to amaze its visitors.<\/p>\n
But what precisely is so special about the Maldives?<\/p>\n
We went around the Maldives, asking everyone to name one thing that made the Maldives the ultimate tropical island destination for them.<\/p>\n
The results are below. While some state the obvious, you\u2019ll soon discover that there is more to the island nation than its unrivaled natural beauty.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Two mantras<\/strong> about the Maldives set the country apart from the rest.<\/p>\n \u201cOne island, one resort\u201d<\/strong> means only one retreat per private island. As a result, once you reach the island, the staff takes care of everything.<\/p>\n Moreover, there is no running around required, and the population on the island remains limited to resort employees and guests only. As a result, there\u2019s a sense of seclusion on the islands, even when you visit during high season.<\/p>\n \u201cNo shoes, no news\u201d<\/strong> is the other favorite tagline many retreats like to popularize. The idea is to encourage guests to forget their worries or the outside world and enjoy a rejuvenating sojourn.<\/p>\n Also, since most private islands are immaculately clean and sandy, you can walk around barefoot without worrying.<\/p>\n Tourism is one of the leading initiatives of the archipelago. Consequently, the Maldivian government has taken steps to create a simplified structure<\/strong> that makes holidaying in the Maldives a cakewalk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Basically, you do not have to worry about anything once you\u2019ve booked your resort. The staff will email you before departure and request details about your arrival. At this time, you can reserve your speedboat, seaplane, or domestic flight through them.<\/p>\n Furthermore, upon arrival at Male Airport, the resort staff is again present to help guide you. They take care of your luggage and lead you to the jetty or the seaplane lounge.<\/p>\n At the resort, you can enjoy everything from dining to excursions without taking out your wallet<\/strong>. All the costs, including your transfer, are a part of the final bill you pay when leaving. In fact, you can have a cashless holiday in the Maldives.<\/p>\n Travelers staying on public islands should book scheduled speedboats in advance. Else, they can use the more economical local ferry system. Again, your guesthouse host can assist you with boat timings and bookings.<\/p>\n Yes! The Maldives promises an abundance<\/strong> of the highest quality.<\/p>\n No! The island nation is not a holiday destination reserved for the rich.<\/p>\n On the contrary, the archipelago is an all-budget vacation spot<\/strong>, and that\u2019s one of the things we absolutely love about the Maldives.<\/p>\n Very few places offer the chance to enjoy any type of vacation you want<\/strong>. In the Maldives, couples can book an adults-only resort<\/strong> for a private honeymoon. At the same time, several family-friendly hideaways<\/strong> feature multiple pools, dining options, and kids\u2019 clubs. While these retreats have activities for all ages, they are an excellent choice for families looking to spend time with each other.<\/p>\n Furthermore, the Maldives certainly caters to adventure tourists<\/strong>. Nowadays, liveaboards<\/strong> cover multiple locations and plan cruises around diving, snorkeling, and surfing.<\/p>\n Additionally, while holidaying in the Maldives, tourists can book exotic experiences<\/strong> like blackwater diving, seaplane photo tours<\/strong>, and big game fishing<\/strong> to experience the ultimate thrill.<\/p>\n For many, Maldives and opulence<\/strong> go hand-in-hand. The archipelago does have some of the most stunning resorts in the world<\/strong>. Many of these are favorite jaunts among celebrities<\/strong>, royals, and the wealthy.<\/p>\n While extravagance often defines the Maldives, the island nation isn\u2019t without strong cultural roots<\/strong>. Budget travelers and those searching for traditional indulgences can stay on the public islands<\/a>. A vacation among the locals delivers complete insight into the Maldivian lifestyle<\/strong>, their festivals, clothes, dances, and food.<\/p>\n They are luxury abodes over the water<\/strong>, looking out to the boundless sea<\/strong>!<\/p>\n Isn\u2019t that just awesome?<\/p>\n Agreeably, other destinations have water villas. However, no place offers the diversity and extravagance<\/strong> of these unique residences as the resorts in the Maldives.<\/p>\n So why the hullaballoo over these accommodations?<\/p>\n Besides the novelty<\/strong> factor, overwater villas provide guests with an intimate nook<\/strong> on the island. Furthermore, you have direct access to the ocean<\/strong>.<\/p>\n What we love about the Maldives is that the water villas come in all shapes and sizes<\/strong>. From one-bedroom cozy<\/strong> ones to multi-facility-having overindulgent constructions<\/strong>, there\u2019s a villa just right for you.<\/p>\n Not to forget, some villas leave you in a state of giddiness <\/strong>by offering uber-cool amenities<\/strong> like water slides, glass floors, swimming pools, and more.<\/p>\n The majority of the Maldives is the sea. As a result, discovering more about the occupants that call the Maldivian waters their home makes for a remarkable vacation. That the ocean surrounding the archipelago promises a vibrant aquatic life<\/strong> means visitors have the opportunity to indulge in genuinely wonderous underwater explorations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The diversity of sea life<\/strong> in the archipelago is astonishing. What we love about the Maldives is that you don\u2019t necessarily have to go into the water to witness several of these sea creatures. You can observe them from the beach<\/strong>, underwater restaurants, glass floors<\/strong> in your bedroom, or on boat rides<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Among the most popular marine life you will likely encounter are whale sharks<\/strong>, manta rays<\/strong>, sea turtles<\/strong>, and dolphins<\/strong>. But there are also hammerhead sharks, white and blacktip reef sharks<\/strong>, lionfish, clownfish, barracuda<\/strong>, parrot fish, and hundreds more.<\/p>\n Additionally, guests can partake in various activities for a more hands-on experience<\/strong> with Maldivian sea life.<\/p>\n If you are a food lover, the Maldives is, quite surprisingly, one of the best places to indulge in exceptional culinary adventures<\/strong>. Being an island, fresh seafood<\/strong> is a given. Interestingly, local Maldivian dishes replicate the straightforwardness of its people. They consist mainly of island produce<\/strong> and seafood, prepared using simple traditional methods<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Furthermore, what we really love about the Maldives is that the gastronomic tables at the private retreats reveal a smorgasbord of international delights<\/strong>. Not only are the presentations classic<\/strong> or experimental<\/strong> in their character, but they are often the creation of the best international chefs<\/strong>. So, expect everything like plant-based vegetarian dishes, Japanese teppanyaki, and wood-fired Italian pizza.<\/p>\n In addition, the gastronomic excellence<\/strong> of the Maldives doesn\u2019t just end with well-prepared food. The archipelago is all about memorable settings<\/strong> and experiences, and restaurants play their part in it. While the list of fantastic restaurants in the Maldives is quite extensive, here are some that stand out for their ingenuity<\/strong> or theme<\/strong>;<\/p>\n Luminous waters, gorgeous sunsets<\/strong>, and that middle-of-nowhere<\/strong> remote feeling make the Maldives a picture-perfect dreamy<\/strong> holiday spot. Admittedly, you need to make some effort<\/strong> to reach here, from possibly taking a long flight to booking a boat transfer that takes you to the resort.<\/p>\n However, once you reach your destination in the archipelago, the Maldives<\/strong> coddles you to no extent<\/strong>. In the end, you relish a relaxed vacation packed with unlimited pampering<\/strong>, great food, and as few or many activities as your heart desires.<\/p>\n Even if you decide to do nothing and simply lounge, the Maldives will fascinate you with its innate natural beauty<\/strong>. Pristine white beaches<\/strong>, endless ocean views, all-around greenery<\/strong>, and the opportunity to witness marine life from land require no additional exertion from your side.<\/p>\n Lastly, one of the main reasons we love the Maldives is that the islands are stunning<\/strong> no matter the direction you look in. All said and done; along with a stimulating experience<\/strong>, the island nation will leave you countless Insta-worthy photos to share on social media and with friends and family upon returning home.<\/p>\n The post 8 Awesome things we love about the Maldives first appeared on Love The Maldives.<\/p>\n Popular Activities to do in Maldives<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Everything is structured<\/h2>\n
