The Maldives are traditionally associated with relaxing holidays on white-sand beaches and snorkeling in azure waters. However, these tropical destinations have much more to offer than just relaxing under the palm trees. We’ll share the most exciting activities that will make your trip unforgettable.

1. Try Yourself as a Mermaid
Standard diving or snorkeling in the Maldives is nothing special, but how about transforming into a real mermaid? Special suits with tails allow you to explore the underwater world in a new way. Of course, you won’t be allowed to dive straight into the open sea; first, you’ll need to master swimming techniques in a pool or shallow water.

2. Embark on a Gastronomic Journey
Almost every resort in the Maldives has several restaurants serving dishes from various cuisines, from French to Japanese. But the traditional Maldivian evenings, held once a week, are especially worth a visit.

3. Seaplane Flight
Want to see the Maldives from a bird’s eye view? Then take a seaplane to remote resorts like Noonu or Baa Atolls.

4. Take a Cooking Masterclass
Want to get to know the local cuisine better? Book a chef-led masterclass where you’ll learn how to cook traditional Maldivian dishes.

5. Relax at a Spa
A spa in the Maldives isn’t just relaxation, it’s a ritual. For example, Sun Siyam Iru Fushi is home to one of the best spas in Asia.
