Maldives

Bioluminescence under the Stars

Picture this; sitting on white sandy beaches with a wash of clear crystal blue water as far as the eye can see. You take a sip of your favorite drink as the fresh breeze politely flows across your face lifting your spirit on impact. The soft sound of the Indian Ocean waves blends perfectly with the unique flavors of freshly-made seafood. The Maldives, an epitome of romance and tropical charm.

Located in the Arabian Sea of the Indian Ocean, the Maldives is a collection of more than a thousand islands with a tropical allure that makes it romantic and unforgettable. Take a deep dive into this paradise that has a lot more to offer than powdery beaches and delectable cuisine. My friend who does Commercial Painting in Minneapolis told me we should check out the Maldives. What an unbelievable place. It’s amazing.

Unwind On The Beaches

Undoubtedly among the best reasons to visit the Maldives is the time you get to spend on the sandy beaches. Unlike other beaches, you will not find a trace of littering on these beaches as they are one the cleanest shores in the world. Here, you can enjoy a plate of delectable Maldivian cuisine as the vast bluish-green waters of the Indian Ocean kiss the horizon.

Deep Dive into the Coral Reef

The Kuda Huraa has warm waters conducive for diving without a wetsuit. Deepwater diving sessions and snorkeling will introduce you to the vibrant coral reef and thriving marine life where you are likely to spot manta rays, sea turtles, and barracuda. Best of all, the reef inhabitants are friendly so you can get several good snaps with a waterproof camera.

Adventure on the Water

The Maldives has something for everyone, even those with an addiction to adrenaline. Expect thrilling water sports, including kayaking, canoeing, sea bobbing, jet-skiing, snorkeling, and rollerblading. Resorts offer instructors who will guide you through the activities; whether you are a beginner or an expert, they ensure you have the best time. Surfing is also on the table thanks to the consistent waves of the atolls like Laamu Atoll. For more mild adventures on the waters, you can go on charming dolphin, and turtle boat safaris.

Therapeutic Spa

Visiting the Maldives for relaxation means that you cannot skip the therapeutic spas. You can start with a relaxing massage inside the seaside cabanas then move on to more unique locations. Paying a visit to the underwater Huvafen Fushi treats you to not only pampering, but also a panoramic view of the marine life in the house reef of the resort. The Kuda Huraa is another excellent spa spot thanks to its transparent floor panels that allow you to see marine life as you get pampered with a massage and delicious ginger tea.

Bioluminescent Water under the Stars

Finally, be part of a magical experience, unlike any other as you watch the beaches of Vaadhoo Island light up brighter than the night sky. This tropical destination is home to many dinoflagellates phytoplankton, which emit luminescent toxins that blend with the waves and rest on the beaches. This defense mechanism results in bright blue, glowing beaches and waves at night that will make the Maldives an unforgettable experience.
