Choose an Island Sanctuary
Forget hostels and crowded beaches. The ideal places to stay in Maldives are resorts each on a private island. Imagine waking up in a beach bungalow or splurging on an overwater villa – your own personal haven for relaxation. But here’s the beauty – properties like those of Adaaran Resorts offer exciting activities and excursions, striking the perfect balance between peace and adventure. So, soak up the sun on a secluded beach lounger in the morning, then join a group snorkelling trip in the afternoon – it’s entirely up to you!
Enjoy Some Spa Pampering
Speaking of relaxation, a private island resort in Maldives is the perfect choice for some spa pampering. Indulge in traditional treatments alongside massages, body scrubs and facials. Feel your cares just melt away as you enjoy a massage after a day of exploration or pamper your feet with a pedicure while watching the sunset paint the sky. Combine that with some sunrise or sunset yoga, and you will return home feeling utterly rejuvenated!
Fun-filled Activities Await
Solo travel isn’t just about bubble baths and beach naps (although there’s plenty of room for that too). The Maldives offers a plethora of activities for the adventurous spirit! Snorkelling is a must, and some resorts even provide training and certification for diving, opening up a whole new underwater world to explore.
Feeling the need for speed? Try jet skiing or flyboarding! Kayaking, kitesurfing, and sunset fishing are just a few more ways to add some thrills to your solo escapades. And for a cultural experience, consider visiting local islands and interacting with the friendly Maldivian people.
Packing Light for Big Adventures
When it comes to packing, think light and breezy. Cotton or linen clothing is your best friend, and don’t forget multiple swimsuits for all those quintessential selfies! If you plan on visiting local islands, pack some loose-fitting clothing that covers your shoulders and knees to be respectful of local customs. Comfortable flip-flops and sandals are beach essentials along with reef-safe sunscreen, stylish sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat. Don’t forget a power adapter for your electronics, and a killer playlist to soundtrack your solo adventure!
