Dive into paradise

If you can resist the temptation to stay back with your partner in the resort room overlooking the vast sea, Maldives has a lot to offer. Put on your mask and fins, hold your darling’s hand, and just dive into the clear waters. This is the brilliant opportunity to have a rendezvous with nature. The water is crystal clear; so much so that you can even see the colours of every passing fish, and the thousands of splendid coral reefs. In fact, this is one of the richest diving coral reef areas in the world. The Indian Ocean tides bring along a huge collection of marine creatures during the monsoons, and these make the shore all the more beautiful.

Enjoy night fishing trips

Fishing is synonymous with Maldives. It is so important for the people there that a good catch demands celebrations and scarce fish actually makes everyone go gloomy! Many resorts offer night reef fishing trips, so that you can enjoy catching and cooking your own fish. The boat leaves before sunset for a good fishing spot near a reef. The fishermen on board guide you about using the lines, hooks, and sinkers. And there are good chances that your catch will be enough for a fantastic barbecue under the moonlight.

Enjoy every water sport

In a place that has more sea than land, it is out of the question that you would skip water sports. Whether you are an adventurous soul or an explorer, Maldives has something for everyone. Para-sailing, wind surfing, snorkelling, kayaking and many more activities are offered here. You can also rent a yacht and go on a circumference trip of place, which is a visual treat in itself. If you are ready to go all wild, then jet-skiing, kite-surfing, water-skiing, etc., are some activities you just cannot miss.

Maldives is especially a surf-lovers’ haven. It is well-known all over the world for the massive swells that the southwest monsoons bring. You must book resorts near surf breaks (points at rocks or reefs that make surfing easy) if you and your partner wish to enjoy surfing during your stay. The capital of Maldives, Male, is the place for you if you are a surfing aficionado.

Treat yourself with a spa treatment

At the end of the day, after all the adventure and fun, you can relax with exotic spa treatments with your better half. Every resort offers spa treatments in Maldives, although the types of treatments vary. The best part is the setting of the treatment, which is never in a boring closed room (unless you ask for it). Some offer massages in spas nestled deep in the thick vegetation while others relaxing in the solitude of a wooden jetty built on the lagoon, and some are even built underwater!

The virgin coconut oil produced here using very traditional extraction techniques make it much healthier than the regular oils. This, blended with a local favourite, gandhakolhi leaf, makes for an excellent skin rejuvenator. Apart from this, the traditional Maldivian sand massage used by the islanders is also a different experience altogether.
