The Maldives in Photos

A public ferry service links Maldivian islands like Mahibadhoo, Kunburudhoo, Rasdhoo, and Omadhoo to the capital Male, making it a great way to see multiple spots (provided you’re not in a hurry). Mahibadhoo earns rave reviews for its crystal-clear water, and the option to enjoy a sunset cruise or picnic on one of the deserted sandbars surrounding it. Visitors to the island are rewarded with a more authentically Maldivian experience than what you’ll find at big-name resorts, and can extend their stay by overnighting at one of the guesthouses. For a more luxe experience, forgo the ferry and hire a speedboat to enjoy a full day of customized island-hopping.

Watching local women making baskets is a delightful enjoy. People coming to the Maldives for staying at isolated resorts can make one more step to see anthropological inhabitated islands. The Maldives is more vivid then you think.

One thing in which Maldives is rich, is fishes. Take a walk along the seaside starting the ferry terminal. you will encounter the big market where seeing such giant fishes is not an unusual thing.

Funny shining “shy talor” is located on Mahibadhoo island.

Watching people’s life is fun for visitors staying in a tourism-oriented country. Here you can find: children are shy. Young people are going out; old people are greeting you like their friends. It’s another world, yet a similar one to yours.

According to this 3-“S” rule, in any Maldivian resort you will get all of them - Sun-Sea-Stay

Dhangethi is like an inhabited resort everything you get here is like what you can get from a resort but it’s the no-charging-no-service rule.

Bird-watching on Dhangethi island is a good activity. Crane can be found near the seaside during the sunset time picking fishes. A sketch is even better.

Surfing world class breaks with minimal people in the water was priceless. The guides at Tropicsurf will make sure to find you the best waves around while housing you at the 5 star Four Seasons Resort.

The atolls in Maldives are so beautiful that it is easy to mistake them for heaven. The waters are blue, green and a few more shades hard to discern, life underwater throws in more Colours like orange, yellow, silver. And the sun shines brightly on it all, bringing out the beauty in full sparkle. I wish I could live there forever

This archipelago nation in the Indian Ocean is comprised of 1192 coral islands spread out over 35,000 square miles and has an average ground level of just under 5 feet above sea level, making it both one of the world’s most geographically dispersed nations and it’s lowest. Secluded and beautiful, the Maldive Islands are considered by many to be the ultimate tropical beach destination. Warm turquoise water, white sand beaches, world-class diving, and lush vegetation make this the perfect place to relax and unwind.

Watching sunset on male island is like eating a candy. It melts in your eyes with its yellow fading butter-yellow color - whatever you see is a picture with excellent framing.

Light house and sunset are a good combination on Male island.

Walking on the streets in Male will give you a log of surprises. Like last time, I found a little yellow bird smiling at me.

Here in the Maldives, expedition cruising takes on a much more rudimentary guise in the form of a traditional local ‘dhoni’. These traditional wooden vessels have worked the Maldivian atolls for centuries, transporting goods and ferrying locals across the vast expanses of water that separate the inhabited islands making up this expansive oceanic republic.

The diving is amazing.
