Fantastic Marine Life

The Maldives have long since been famed for its fantastic marine life. It’s home to numerous reefs filled with colourful corals and nudibranchs along with exotic fish such as lionfish and stingrays. It’s also THE place to go to if you wish to dive with whale sharks and stingrays!

Spectacular Sunsets

Whether it’s all by yourself, your family or significant other, catching a flaming tropical sunset while lounging on a sandbank is another reason to visit. Or why not go all out enjoy a delicious dinner out by the ocean during sunset at one of the many restaurants located on the islands?

Fresh Seafood

If you are an absolute fan of fresh seafood, then a visit to the Maldives is a must. Tease your taste buds with an extensive selection of dishes served by some exclusive underwater restaurants and some of the best Maldives resorts including the likes of Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives.

Bioluminescent Beaches

Treat yourself to a magical bioluminescent sight while visiting the islands of Vilamendhoo, Angaga, and Kurumathi. A natural phenomenon which occurs at night, phytoplankton which collides with the sand, water or even feet give off a bright neon blue light!

Pasta Point

An archipelago of over a thousand islands should definitely offer some surfing opportunities; when you stay at one of the best Maldives resorts these can be described as unparalleled opportunities. The pristine blue waters that bless the shores of Maldives have been the main crowd puller to the country for dozens of years. The locals have brushed up on their hospitality and cuisine to make a mark beyond their natural gifts. However, the vistas that unfold along every coast, the cruises between atolls and the fine marine adventures that are promised to every tourist are difficult to compete with.

In order to make every marine aficionado’s surf dreams come true, the waves and waters that surround Maldives work overtime. The wave machines around the country help create more adventurous waves for surfers and include reef breakers, point breakers as well as beach breakers. The North Malѐ atoll has its own wave machine known as Pasta Point which is not too far from the iconic Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives and is more or less used exclusively by the dwellers at the hotel.

As obscure as the name may be Pasta Point is an amazing reef break which dishes out lefthanders which are unmatchable. The ideal time of the year to benefit from these four to six metre high waves is between May and August each year. The number of surfers who are given access to Pasta Point is regulated and capped at thirty; this makes it safer and more convenient for those who ride the waves. There are several other breaks within proximity of Pasta Point and can be accessed by boat, so once you have your fair share of the fun on the Pasta breaks, be sure to arrange a short boat trip to jailbreak or Honky’s which are right-handers and lefthanders respectively.

Some of the best Maldives resorts offer island hopping as part of a recreational package to their guests so that they could experience this unique opportunity. It is important to bear in mind that even though these islands are tiny, they each offer a completely contrasting experience with a plethora of diverse activities that you could take part in at each island you visit. Most resorts such as the Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives and many others offer cruises and tours that offer guests the chance to visit the islands in a cost-effective yet comfortable and safe manner.
Ancient shipwrecks, brightly coloured coral reefs, thousands upon thousands of juvenile reef fish, sharks, turtles and a whole kingdom of plant and animal life that thrives in the perfect waters off the coast provide the best possible ambiance for island hopping. You could also tread upon the shores of remote and uninhabited islands that are quite and filled with adventures of their own. Make sure to take lots of pictures and even buy a few miniatures as souvenirs on your stop at each island so that you could add them to your collection of travel souvenirs once you get back home. Taste the local specialty in each region and observe the simple lifestyles of these people who are majorly anglers. Experience Maldives like never before with a once-in-a-lifetime island hopping adventure.
