SNORKELLING The Maldives is known for its clear waters, so snorkelling feels like a natural fit on anyone’s itinerary. Make the most of the crystal-clear water and explore the vibrant aquatic life. LOTS OF WATER SPORTS! We all like to pretend we are thrill-seeking and adventurous when we’re on holiday and a trip to the Maldives is no exception. Try out everything from jet-skiing to parasailing and wind surfing – whatever makes you feel inspired on the island! VISIT LOCAL ISLANDS There are multiple islands to explore in the Maldives, so get adventuring! They’re almost all accessible via a short boat journey or an exciting sea plane. Examples of islands to visit are Maafushi, Baa Atoll, Kuramath, Fulidhoo – all of which have great activities or examples of local festivities. WHALE WATCHING/DOLPHIN CRUISES It’s always a pleasure to see animals in their natural habitat – which is why whale watching or dolphin cruises in the Maldives should be at the top of your itinerary. The clear waters and idyllic atmosphere create a breathtaking atmosphere to see local wildlife enjoying themselves. PICNICS A picnic on any holiday is always a treat, but what about in the Maldives? Known for their exquisite food, grab yourself a picnic and get set up on its sandy shores. Alternatively, add a floating breakfast to your booking and eat al fresco in your private pool. BOOK A SPA DAY It’s not a luxury holiday without, at least once, stepping foot in a spa! The Maldives is teeming with spectacular spas, waiting to sweep you off your feet and to smooth out those tensionknotted muscles. UNDERWATER DINING The Maldives truly has utilised the beauty of its clear waters by making it a feature in its dining offering – book yourself into one of the underwater dining experiences and eat your dinner amongst the fishes – maybe order the chicken! VISIT THE CAPITAL The capital of these islands is an area called Male – the heart of all of this breathtaking beauty. Male has lots to offer including the Grand Friday Mosque, fish markets, and Sultan Park. Your Maldives Itinerary THE WESTIN MIRIANDHOO RESORT 98
