The Maldives is a holiday destination right out of a picture postcard. Palm fringed beaches, tropical breezes; azure waters all come to life the moment you arrive. Island resorts in Maldives spill out over the ocean to give you an unforgettable memory of breathtaking beauty. Serious shoes have no place here, so swap them out for a pair of flip flops or go barefoot in the soft powdery sand. To treat yourself to a truly luxurious experience, head to the Thaa Atoll in the archipelago’s southwest and find the Maalifushi by COMO, Maldives.
There are many ways to enjoy the Maldives. The islands are known for spa and wellness facilities and retreats, also for adrenalin pumping water sports and world famous dive sites. Many who visit the tropical destination are honeymooners, looking for a magical experience. Given that many of the islands are uninhabited getting away to spend some alone time with your partner is not difficult.
One of the quieter spots to visit is the Mirihi Island, a tiny gem that is only three hundred and fifty metres long and fifty metres wide. It is part of the South Ari Atoll, located approximately eighty five kilometers south of the Maldivian capital, Male. The secluded island takes its name from the local flower Mirihi flower. Its untouched beaches boast snow white sand and the cool shade of tall palms. You can book a sea plane to get you to the island, the equivalent of calling a cab in another country! The scenic flight from Male takes thirty minutes and will whisk you to your destination over a mesmerising seascape. The Mirihi house reef is also a noteworthy feature. It is accessible from the island itself and aside from the view, expect to see some wildlife: white tip shark, whale shark and even manta rays have been spotted nearby.
