Every day is beach day in the Maldives
Can’t get enough of white sands and clear blue waters? Maldives is where you need to visit! One of the resorts we tried was Outrigger Resort and it had beautiful beaches. You can also rent snorkelling equipment and snorkel along the beach too.
If you want to swim but prefer to do it in a pool, there is a massive one located in front of Edgewater restaurant. All guests can also take a sunset cruise on one of the evenings!
My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
#dayatthebeach #maldives #tripmoments #tripblazers
Take a cultural city tour with a local tour guide!
Did you know that you can go on a walking tour of the capital of Maldives? Local guides are available to show you around the key landmarks of this city. They will even tell you stories of the historical significance of some of these heritage monuments.
To book a local guide, ask the resort staff stationed at the international airport to recommend one. Tip the guide after your tour an amount that you deem fit. You are also expected to cover their expenses during their time with you. Enjoy learning about the Maldivian culture there!
My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Catch the most gorgeous sunsets in the Maldives
Maldives is on of the beautiful destination getaways that you definitely have to visit at least once in you life. It is where you get to be up close with nature yet still be able to enjoy luxurious creature comforts.
Because there are no high rise buildings around, you will certainly get to catch gorgeous sunsets during your stay. Some resorts require you to take a seaplane there while others require a speedboat ride.
No matter which island resort you go to, enjoying the sunset is pretty much going to happen!
My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Barcelo Whale Lagoon Maldives
Barcelo opened in 2022, and we were among its first guests. The island is artificial and still lacks full greenery, but this did not affect our vacation. The transfer is by seaplane and takes about 20 minutes. The staff is very attentive and hardworking. We stayed in a beach villa, which was very spacious and featured an impressive bathroom. I recommend villas 128 to 132. The hotel’s atmosphere does not resemble the classic Maldives; it feels more like the Dominican Republic or the Caribbean.
Regarding beach characteristics and the best areas to stay: the island has two sides—sunrise and sunset. The sunrise side has a calmer lagoon. It is also worth noting that the island’s artificial nature is noticeable. The sand can be coarse in some places, and the entry into the water is generally gradual, but there are occasional coral fragments in varying amounts. I recommend wearing water shoes for a more comfortable experience.
The sunset side has a reef, with constant wind and waves. If you swim out further, there is a current. The resort positions itself as a Soft Club Concept and will be divided into two zones. There are two pools: one is lively, with daytime activities and animation, while the other is quieter, intended for relaxation. Guests can choose what suits them best.
The quality of the food was excellent, with good-quality ingredients. If you want something that is not on the menu, you can speak to the chef, and they will do their best to accommodate you. The resort is very guest-focused in this regard.
In terms of privacy, it is not at the highest level.
Service may have minor delays, which is typical for new resorts as the team adjusts and finds its rhythm.
I should also mention the high-quality tableware, excellent bed linens, and branded towels. In these areas, Barcelo’s standards are well upheld.
Additionally, the hotel is located in the South Ari Atoll, where seasonal excursions to see whale sharks and manta rays are available. #maldives #tophotels
Autumn Escapes: Unwind at Stone Hotels Dhiffushi This Fall
Stone Hotels in Dhiffushi offers a well-regarded experience, known for its stunning ocean views and exceptional service. Guests frequently praise the friendly and accommodating staff, clean rooms, and the peaceful ambiance. The hotel provides modern amenities such as an infinity rooftop pool, private beach access, and a variety of water activities like snorkeling and diving, making it ideal for relaxation and adventure.
Visitors particularly highlight the quality of the food, with delicious options available at the on-site restaurant. The hotel also offers a variety of breakfast choices, including continental and halal options. However, a few minor areas for improvement have been noted, such as limited sunbeds on the beach and soundproofing issues in the rooms.
Overall, the combination of its prime location, excellent service, and great value make Stone Hotels a top choice for those visiting Dhiffushi.
Head to the Maldives for an awesome beach experience
Some of the best beaches in the world can be found in the Maldives! This beach at Movenpick Resort has beautiful blue waters, soft white sand and sunny weather. The recommended time to visit is during the peak season of November to April, where there are minimal rain spells and more sunshine.
It is quite a big beach as well so you don’t have to worry about it being crowded. Bask in the sun or snorkel to observe the sea life, certainly a place you won’t forget!
My overall rating of the experience: 5 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A dream country to travel to 🌊🐠🐟
#islandtour
#maldives #bluesky #ocean
Been thinking about travelling to Maldives since I was young and finally I made it here ❤️
A 10 days trip in total but just managed to get the sun 2-3 days as August is a rainy season but still, a full enjoyable and marvellous trip staying in Dhigali Resort with my love one.
Looking forward to coming back to this lovely island next year to compensate myself with the missing red sunset and dolphin cruise 🐬🐬
🇲🇻 Glass bottom Kayak
#kayak #100WaysOfTravel
I know that getting a glass bottom kayak is expensive so I will choose to do all my watersports whenever I am in Maldives. You get to avoid all those extorting cases and you get a private instructor at the resort. Here at W Maldives, I rented a glass bottom kayak and the staff at the water sports center taught me a few basics and even offered me a free waterproof bag so that I could take out my camera when I reached the ocean. The blue skies and white clouds on a crystal-clear ocean make my photos even nicer. I had the best experience here and I have already planned my next Maldives trip.
#maldives #liveyourdreams #takethattrip
🇲🇻 W Maldives floating water center
#kayak #100WaysOfTravel
A resort stay at Maldives always include free non-motorized water sports and life jackets. This is my stay in W Maldives and life jackets are already placed in the villa. Some water sports center will require a swim test before you can get a snorkel set from them. But you can get this easily on your own and bring it over. Just hop by to the water sports center and you can get their kayak for loan and this is complimentary. Just remember to put on sun block lotion which is also available for free at the pool and beach area. When you are having a vacation in Maldives, the lesser thing to worry about is money.

Maldives on a budget 💸
#coupletravel
The Maldives was our first stop on the world trip, and you don’t have to spend a fortune to enjoy it. For example, staying on local islands like Maafushi is a budget-friendly option.
Maafushi is located in the Kaafu Atoll, about 26 kilometers (16 miles) south of the capital, Malé. It’s accessible by a 30-40 minute speedboat ride or a 90-minute public ferry from Malé.
▪️Local Island: Maafushi is a local island with guesthouses, offering a more affordable and culturally immersive experience compared to the resort islands.
▪️Pristine Beaches: While it’s a local island, Maafushi still boasts stunning beaches, especially the dedicated “Bikini Beach” where tourists can swim and sunbathe in swimsuits, as the rest of the island adheres to local customs.
▪️Water Activities: The island offers a range of water-based activities, such as snorkeling, diving, jet-skiing, and dolphin-watching trips. It's also a gateway to nearby sandbanks and resorts for day visits.

Time for some outdoor fun in the sun
Maldives is one of the best vacation destinations to get outdoors and experience nature! Not only are there many snorkeling opportunities, most resorts also have kayaks, jet skis and even banana boat rides available for hotel guests. If you want something more relaxing, head to the pool to cool off and lay in those gorgeous sun beds with a nice drink!
My overall rating of the experience: 5 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

To the heaven Maldives 🇲🇻
#100waysoftravel
If you go to Maldives, you don't have to worry about not seeing the blue water.. because 99% of the entire country is water, the 1% of the land that doesn't exist is only 4 feet 11 inches above sea level. I don't even have a single letter. Even the highest point, let alone mountains, is only 7 feet 1 inch above sea level. 🌊🌬️
Maldives is an archipelago surrounded by water in the Indian Ocean. The nearest country, India, is 250 miles away. There are 1192 islands and only 192 islands are inhabited. The population is just over 400,000 in the entire country, and the country's area is only 115 square miles, making it the smallest in Asia in terms of population and area.
I was even more surprised when I got off the plane. Because there is only an island for the airport. No matter how much, there is only an island to put the garbage. In one of the islands, the capital Maldives has built.

Best island to visit in Maldives
Maldives is spoilt for choice when you reach and have to pick an island to visit. The islands are also far from one another and the transport is expensive. You would need to be smart on your island picking. Here is one of the islands that I would recommend to put up at the top of your lease and this island is called Fulidhoo. What makes Fulidhoo special? Amazing house reef, great choice of excursions, affordable accommodations. This is one of the Island where you get to experience the best of Maldives's marine life and also a local Island experience. wake up in the morning to a beautiful sunrise on one end grab your snorkels and snorkel around the island followed by an amazing local meal and spending the day around different beaches on different corners of the Island. ending the day with some beautiful sunset and catching huge stingrays and sharks just at the shore during the night, Fulidhoo comes in a package. #maldives #fulidhoo #island

#100waysoftravel #maldives #seascapes #awesomepic #couplestrip #august #bluesky #beachcheck
Maldives has been in my dream like forever and here is my turn to visit to this piece of beautiful and peaceful land!!Other than the blue sky and the sea, it is all about the beach, sun and the swimming suits.
If Maldives is in your bucket list, do book it this coming sunny season from December and you wont be disappointed visiting to this country.
Reminder:
- Avoid visiting during rainy season from Mid-May to November.
Can you find the Jade here in Maldives 🥘🍝🍜
#weekendgetaways
#maldives
Jade restaurant is located in one of the private island of Maldives - Dhigali resort that located in Raa Atoll. Going there, it is reachable by seaplane at 45 min from the Velana International Airport OR domestic flight + speedboat!!
Personally the quality of foods are average to me but the service of the staffs are just so phenomenal. So attentive and always make sure we had been taken care of.
Some as other restaurants in the same island, advanced reservation is needed for this restaurant as well or you might get a table. If you are in a foreign isolated island and crave for Thai food, remember to reserve it with the resort or through the Dhigali app.
Chilling time with Faru chef 🧇🍘🌮
#afternoonteatime
#100WaysOfTravel #awesomepic #indianocean #maldives #couplestrip #deliciousfood
This is another restaurant that located in Dhigali resort Maldives offering continental cuisine, grilled meat, and fresh succulent seafoods such as lobster, tenderloins and so on. Other than that, it is also vegan and vegetarian friendly if you do not want to have any meats.
For your information, you are free to walk in in the afternoon session but reservation in advanced is mandatory for the dinner. However, no worries for the menu as the lunch time session is offering a lot of options too including the grill products, desserts and alcoholic beverages.

Indian Ocean Sea in front of the Airport ✈️
#100WaysOfTravel
#velanainternationalairport #maldives #indianocean
This is the cutest Airport I have ever seen in my life as it is located right in front of the Indian Ocean. Walking out from the airport, the infinity ocean sea is just in front of our eyes and there are plenties of public and private boats park by the jetty to pick up the guests. Yesssss, not the grab, not the taxi, but the speedboats waiting outside.
Whereas inside the airport, there are a lot of lounges and counters of the resorts or hotels surrounded waiting for their guests to approach for the seaplane arrangement. Again, the seaplane is nearby only and you just need to take the bus to the terminal. The distance is quite near and it only takes lesser than 5 min.
Are you ready to visit the place for sun and sea ?
Hotel choice in Maafushi island 👍🏻
#100WaysOfTravel
#couplestrip #awesomepic #indianocean #beachy #maldives #maafushi
Othen than Arena Beach Hotel, the hotel under Kaani group can be one of the top option for you to go for if you are travelling to the Maldives local Maafushi island.
Same as Arena, this is a 4-stars hotel as well and also located in front of the bikini beach where you can just wear the bikini to swim here (the only place to wear bikini in Maafushi) and see the sunset directly.
Reminder:
- Do arrange with the hotel directly for the speedboat transfer at least 3 days in advanced as this is the only way for you to come.

You must try Indian Foods in Maldives 🥘🍛🇮🇳
#100WaysOfTravel
#couplestrip #awesomepic #deliciousfood #maldives #maafushi #indianfood
This is one of the sought after Maldivian-Indian food in Maafushi island. This restaurant is just next to our Arena Star Beach Hotel, just a stone walking distance away.
The waiter was so friendly and welcoming, even offer us a free drinking water since we just ordered food (actually we just done had a drink at a small stall and we are enough with drinks).
We ordered Egg Briyani and Chapati, the taste was great and strongly recommend to come try it out if you are coming over to Maafushi!
Souvenir time in Malé Airport before you leave ✈️
#100WaysOfTravel
#shoppingexperience #awesomepic #seaanimal #maldives #velanainternationalairport #souvenirs #shopaholic
This is where you can shop like you are in Disneyland when you travel to Maldives!!!
Just keep some money until the last day of your trip as this is the most complete souvenir shop that located on Velana airport after you passed the custom!!! Any magnets, cups, toys, picture frames, ornaments with Maldives logo can be found here without needing to look for the souvenirs anywhere in the downtown or the private islands.
Just be reminded, the items are quite pricey like the small magnet will cost around USD 10 - USD 15 already!! But anyway, this might be once in your lifetime travelling to Maldives, soooo, just but whatever you like 😆😆
Transit Hotel in Malé in a strategic location 📍
#100WaysOfTravel
#awesomepic #maldives #couplestrip #indianocean #hotel #transithotel
The Somerset Hotel is one of the best transit hotels you can find in Male. The location was quite strategic as it is close to a high rating cafe - The Seagull Cafe in less than 5 minutes walking distance.
The check-in process was smooth and the staff was professional to explain thoroughly while making sure we settle down, as we arrived in soaky wet due to rain.
The room was comfortable to stay in and was quite spacious. Not to mention, although the restaurant is small, but the included breakfast was great too! Strongly recommend!
