10 Reasons Why We Love Maldives

Maldives Travel Guide

Maldives is our idea of paradise. Taking a holiday at the Maldives is a dream for many, because this place is so extremely picturesque, idyllic and serene. It takes beach holiday to a whole new arena, and the tranquility and luxury is second to none.

Think of waking up in a postcard; that was how we felt every day during our one-week stay. The water is clear and boasts a subtle gradient of blues, the palm trees sway with such grace; even the cocktails stand so effortlessly pretty against the vast Indian Ocean, and the schools of little fishes that hang out around the water villas can keep everyone’s eyes so peeled.

“The sunny side of life” is indeed truly Maldivian, but we’d say “eat well, live well and take a holiday to Maldives.” Because you have worked really hard, and because you deserve a break. If you need any more convincing, here are 10 reasons to fall in love with Maldives:

Snorkelling

#1 SNORKELLING IS A PRICELESS AND LIBERATING EXPERIENCE – ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU DO IT IN THE CLEAR AND BEAUTIFUL WATERS IN MALDIVES

Anyone can snorkel! It is easy, it is fun, and the close proximity with the ocean friends is an experience never to be forgotten. You can snorkel at the open sea, or at the foot of your water villa. Just be mindful to not hurt any coral reefs! And, finding Nemo, anyone? We found many!

#10 ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, IF NOT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BEACH IN ASIA

We have been to many beaches in Asia, but nothing comes close – maybe except for Boracay – to Maldives. The water is crystal clear and exceptionally beautiful, and comes with a gradient of blues. The big blue skies and the Indian Ocean merge as one, and the sight makes one fine postcard.
