For those who wish for the perfect break away from the stress of the ever demanding reality, a tropical beach island can be considered the ideal vacation destination. In addition to the breathtaking surroundings of the island from its sun kissed beaches to the rustic villages, the island offers luxury accommodations perfectly in harmony with the culture and the natural landscape of the island for its visitors. Among those, a stand out Maldives resort is the Anantara Dhigu Resort & Spa Maldives, a place that envelops the guest in an overwhelming experience of ultra-modern facilities, elegant settings and praise worthy service.
Those who are fortunate to arrive in time to lodge at such resorts will be entitled to partake in many excursions designed to give the island visitor a thorough experience of the island, its natural attractions and the culture and traditions of its people. Of such adventures, an activity that has captured the interest and favor of most visitors are the sunset cruises in the gentle waters surrounding the Maldives Island.
Generally upon a ‘dhoni’, a traditional wooden boat made by the local master craftsmen, these evening cruises will enable the guests to catch a rare glimpse of the golden sun sinking into the ocean, setting the sky ablaze with ruby red rays. One can witness the gradual changing of the turquoise ocean to a deep blue shimmering surface lit with the fragments of light from the twinkling stars that start to shine at dusk. The travelers will be able to relax on board as the boat sails around the lagoon areas, listening to the gentle sounds of the ocean waves, relax with a fine wine or champagne with tantalizing delicacies served on board in the bar and lounge outside to bask in the intimate and romantic ambiance of the sunset cruise in Maldives. The tourists can unwind and let the stress of the modern world slip away as the sun sets over the horizon with family or loved ones during the ideal beach island vacation.
