Top things to do in the Maldives
Experience luxurious hospitality, visit the lively markets of Male, go snorkelling in crystal clear waters, and enjoy the colours of the sky on a sunset cruise. For those more adventurous, take to the skies to get a spectacular view of the islands.
Here are the top things to do on a Maldives holiday, as chosen by our Indian Ocean specialists.

Experience luxurious hospitality
The Maldives boasts some truly exclusive accommodation options. Stay in a private bungalow in an all-water villa resort, on a secluded coral atoll, or on a private island with direct beach access.

Explore Male
A surprising hive of activity away from the relaxed luxury resorts, Male offers lively markets and a real chance to meet the people who live here.

Go snorkelling
With remarkable coral reefs and an abundance of marine life, snorkelling is an ideal way to experience this underwater world.

Enjoy a sunset cruise
Relax on board and enjoy antipasti platters and drinks, while the changing colours of the sky are reflected in the shimmering waters.

Take to the skies
A number of the hotels provide a sea plane transfer – opt for one of these to gain a spectacular aerial view of the atolls.
