Holiday-making in the Maldives is a recent notion among vacationers, at least when compared to the long-standing tourist appeal of the world’s other, more popular hotspots. A tiny, scattered group of islands 500 kms south of the Indian peninsula might not sound particularly inviting to amateur travellers, but with serious backpackers constantly venturing into unknown territory, tourism, as industry, in the Maldives has snowballed.

The Maldives’ first resort was made operational in 1972. In the 40 odd years since, Maldives Vacation Packages have become highly desired not just by seasoned travellers, but also by those simply looking for a short escape from the mundane rhythm of everyday life. Here’s why:

Diving Safaris
Whoever said a safari meant cruising around in a vehicle and looking at faraway animals through binoculars? Dive safaris in the Maldives offer you the chance to strap on your scuba diving gear and meet the marine wildlife up close! It doesn’t matter whether you can or can’t swim or what your budgets are or whether you’ve had any deep sea diving experience before. There’s a dive ...
... safari for everyone!

Beaches
Wherever in the Maldives you might be, you’re never too far from a beach. Do take note that you aren’t likely to spot men swaggering around in shorts or women sunbathing themselves in trendy beachwear. The local Muslim populace is largely conservative, but don’t let it send you back to your hotel rooms too soon. Stay for the sunsets, which are among the most beautiful in the world.

Surfing
Surf culture isn’t the most widespread fad in the Indian subcontinent, but it could be. The Maldives have much that will interest surfers; clean, strong waves, ideal temperatures and perfect wind conditions that facilitate even parasailing and windsurfing. Surf bums, revise your bucket lists. Non-surfers, add surfing to your lists and head to the Maldives.

Food
As with any coastal town, fish in the Maldives is delicious. There’s a new restaurant for every next meal, and be careful for the culinary variety could keep you at wit’s end for far too long. Seafood enthusiasts are highly advised to also visit the local fish market and pick their meals themselves. Finding highly talented cooks to prepare the catch is never a problem.

It isn’t any wonder that most international tours now include the Maldives on their itinerary. The nation offers travellers an authentic coastal experience, not just in the food and culture, but also in the exhaustive assortment of recreational activities.
