The beautiful "Wreath of Islands" Maldives
Located southwest of India and Sri Lanka, the Maldives consists of 26 atolls and approximately 1,200 islands. The country, whose name means "garland of islands" in Sanskrit, attracts people from all over the world as a place where you can have an exceptional resort stay. One of the great attractions of the Maldives, which is often chosen for important trips such as honeymoons and anniversary trips, is the idea of "one resort, one island". There are more than 100 islands in the Maldives where the entire island is a resort hotel, and you can enjoy a unique stay on each island. In particular, the dry season from November to April is the season when you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Maldives. From here, we will introduce you to the "special trip" that you can only experience in the Maldives.
A resort stay that starts with a romantic aerial tour
Maldives is a country with countless resort islands scattered across the vast Indian Ocean. From the capital Male, where the international airport is located, there are different ways to access each resort, such as domestic flights, resort-exclusive speedboats, and the traditional Maldivian boat "Dhoni". Among these, the most romantic is the seaplane. As the name suggests, seaplanes can take off and land on water, and are a means of transportation that connects Male with each resort island. Because they fly at a lower altitude than regular airplanes, you can enjoy an amazing aerial stroll with a beautiful view of the atolls and islands of the Maldives spreading out below you. The moment you head to a resort island while looking out over the numerous islands floating in the dark blue sea is truly a scene from a journey that will mark the entrance to an "extraordinary" experience.
Also, in the "One Resort, One Island" Maldives, each resort island has its own unique guest rooms. When you think of the Maldives, you may imagine stilt-top overwater cottages facing the house reef (the coral reef surrounding the island), but discovering the wide variety of guest rooms, such as private villas that feel like secret hideouts surrounded by lush trees and suites with modern exteriors and interiors, is another great pleasure after checking in.
Sunrise snorkeling on the house reef
The time you spend at a resort in the Maldives is always spent with the beautiful sea. For example, many overwater cottages allow you to access the sea directly from the cottage. Whenever you feel like going into the sea, you can easily enjoy snorkeling in the house reef. Snorkeling can be enjoyed in a variety of ways depending on the time of day, from daytime when the sunlight shines brightly into the sea to dusk when the entire field of vision is dyed crimson red, but the time of sunrise is the most luxurious. Entering the sea while feeling the silence of the early morning and watching the morning sun rise over the horizon is a truly blissful experience. The underwater world bathed in the soft morning sun is of course also fascinating. The sight of colorful tropical fish coloring the sea with its lushly developed coral reefs is breathtakingly beautiful. You will be able to feel the joy of "enjoying the beautiful sea whenever you want" with your whole body!
Immerse yourself in the charm of paradise with a variety of activities
The many activities that take place in the beautiful natural setting will make your memories of the Maldives even more memorable. Each resort offers a wide variety of activities, including marine activities such as diving, canoeing, snorkeling, parasailing, and fishing, as well as sunset cruises, tour trips to uninhabited islands, and beach yoga. One of the most recommended activities is encountering marine life unique to the Maldives, which is blessed with a rich sea. For example, Baa Atoll, about 100 km north of the capital Male, is an area designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve due to its precious ecosystem. It is known for being able to encounter precious marine animals such as manta rays and whale sharks. In addition, in the Maldives, you can enjoy encountering various marine life depending on the season and location, such as sea turtles, dolphins, and schools of small fish that swim leisurely in the blue underwater world. Why not take part in a variety of activities and enjoy the fantastic and beautiful sea at your leisure?
Maldivian special lunch and dinner
The Maldives, loved by VIPs from all over the world, is dotted with high-end resorts. Of course, when it comes to food, you can enjoy high-quality flavors that you wouldn't expect on a southern island. From traditional French cuisine to ethnic cuisine that makes use of Maldivian traditions, authentic Japanese cuisine, and BBQs that make use of fresh seafood, each resort offers its own unique and elaborate meals. Another big attraction is that each resort is particular not only about the taste of the food, but also about the situation. For example, you can enjoy a luxurious moment that makes the most of the natural environment unique to "One Resort, One Island", such as a private lunch where you rent out a deserted island for just the two of you, or a candlelit dinner on the sand. Excellent gourmet food in an excellent situation... Please try to experience the blissful time that you can only experience in the Maldives.
Comment
The Maldives has a dry season from November to April due to the influence of the monsoon, but the best season to travel is from January to April, when the weather is relatively stable. The temperature in the Maldives is around 26℃ to 33℃ throughout the year, but the sun is stronger than you would expect, so it is essential to take measures against UV rays. Many people get sunburned on their backs and calves when snorkeling, so don't forget to bring a rash guard and sunscreen!
