Other Things to do in Maldives

1. Go to the spa

Even if you’re on a budget, it is lovely to treat yourselves to a bit more of rest and relaxation. A 30-minute massage should cost around 1,000 MVR. Some of the larger hotels may offer discounts for early-morning/late evening bookings, so you can ask the hotel, Airbnb host, or guesthouse about such promotions.

2. Go fishing

In Maldives, seafood is considered an important aspect of their cuisine. A guide, poles, bait, and guides are rented in most hotels and guesthouses for the day at about 775 MVR. The more common fishes found here include Skipjack and yellowfin tuna, wahoo, mahi-mahi, bigeye scad, and mackerel scad. For someone who is an expert angler, this is a place where some of the best game fishing in the world can be attempted.

3. Snorkel in the Baa Atol

l It is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, which is over 1,200-square-kilometer (463-square-mile) filled with manta rays and whale sharks at the Ba Atoll. In case of the clear sky, you will see them being numerous in the waters while floating on the surface. It is about a five-minute boat ride from Dharavandhoo Island that is just a temporary structure where thousands of grey reef sharks visit every day each a place that is regulated to only have eighty people in the area to ensure the delicate ecosystem is not affected. Admission is approximately 550 MVR, which includes 45 minutes for you to enjoy swimming trips and a certified snorkel guide. The contributions are used to fund the Baa Atoll Conservation Fund.

4. Tour the National Art Gallery

It was founded in 1999; there’s no permanent gallery. Be sure to check the website, as the space is left empty if there is no visiting exhibition on display. The gallery’s temporary exhibitions, varying from traditional painting and locally produced textiles to international modern artists, are certainly worth.

5. Dive the Maldive Victory

This ship which was 100 meters (almost 328 feet) in length wrecked on a reef in 1981. Now it is an awesome site for veteran scuba divers. Strong currents keeping the tropical fish flowing through the shipwreck but make this place challenging for diving, lying resting in the depth of 15-31 meters (50-100 feet). There are every sort of coral, fish, and sponges present here. It’s accessible all year around.

6. Visit the Malé Fish Market

This is their routine displayed in the commercial district of Malé – come here and have a peek. Go to the market after that and choose a fish (if you have the strength to conduct a purchase since most fishermen can’t speak English) and get it cooked in your guesthouse for dinner.

7. Wash up on a sandbank

It is one thing to move to an offshore island but building sand mounds in the middle of the Indian Ocean and standing on them still remains an incredible achievement. Particularly private trips are available to one of any of the hundred dispersed banks on the islets (a majority of these are affiliated with resorts). Tours majorly take between 2-3 hours and are charged at 900 MVR.

8. Skip Maafushi

Maafushi – which was initially a calm island, has been made prey to rampant unplanned development. On one side there are hotels multiplying by the dozens; it seems as if hotels come up left and right, the boats making several trips throughout their day to collect tourists from Malé, a crowded and overbuilt beach. Most of the few restaurants on the island serves to tourists and outside the neatly cleaned area for the visitors, the place becomes one trash dotted dump. Skip it!

9. Do all the watersports

Diving and snorkeling under the water to view the life beneath is what the Maldives are renown but by no means is that all there is to be done their. Many resorts include free kayaks, paddleboards and paddleboats to patronize. In addition, some other packages include surfing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing for beginners and professionals (May-October is the best time). You also have such activities as banana boating, tubing, jet skiing, sailing, parasailing, and flyboarding which are also quite commonly offered.

10. Stay on a local island

People generally live in the sophisticated top of the line resorts when once in the Maldives , but to that there is much more to it other than that. The local islands offer space to understand the entirety of the populace of Maldives and not just a resort and a lot of biological life that is biodiverse. You can find cheaper guesthouse accommodation locally in the islands, and there is more of a variety of tour operators, restaurants, and other stuff. Among them, Fulidhoo, Ukulhas, Rasdhoo, and Thinadhoo are some of the best. In general, as you move away from the capital the more relaxed and quiet are the islands.
