Accommodation: Do you choose a tropical villa or a luxury hotel?
Each island has comfortable hotels, and most of them have their own beach. At every step, tourists encounter tropical vegetation, palm trees, coconut palms, and all kinds of exotic plants.
The Maldive islands are known for the high level of services offered to tourists. Those who want to retreat and enjoy peace can choose locations without internet and television, and people who do not like large and noisy hotels can book villas with private gardens.
Local hotels are attractive for young people going on a honeymoon or for newlyweds: they get special holiday offers, programs, and ceremonies that will give them a unique experience and memories for a lifetime.
Top activities: What do you do on vacation in the Maldives?
- Admire the famous Ari Atoll, which is made up of seventy islands with a very developed tourist infrastructure. Go diving and sunbathe on endless beaches with fine sand.
- Admiral.Travel recommends visiting the underwater bay of Hanifaru island, appreciated by divers. During martie - octombrie, plankton rises to the surface, attracting a large number of sharks to these places.
- Go to Banana Reef — an atoll that resembles a banana. There, even at a depth of about thirty meters, the underwater visibility is perfect, and the underwater nature is spectacular.
- If you planned a vacation on the Maldive islands, make your reservation in advance and dine in a restaurant located five meters under water — Ithaa. Admiral.Travel experts advise you to hurry, because the venue can host a maximum of 14 people at the same time, and someone might take the table you could be sitting at right now.
- The attractions of the Maldive islands can be admired from a yacht or from above, for example from an airplane. This way you will feel the pulse of the place more intensely.
