Snorkel with Mantas
Though snorkelling is popular, for something truly special you can enjoy this activity amidst majestic manta rays! During the season (May to November), Hanifaru Bay in the Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, becomes a hotspot for manta feeding and resorts here like The Nautilus Maldives offer guided snorkelling excursions.
Sandbank BBQ
After experiencing the many fun activities in Maldives, what could be better than savouring a BBQ feast on a sandbank for two! You and that special someone will be whisked away to a secluded sandbank where a private chef will create a menu to your preferences to enjoy while being serenaded by the Indian Ocean.
Castaway Wedding
Imagine celebrating your special day on the pristine shores of a deserted island with your one true love; some resorts in Maldives offer such unique experiences in a symbolic wedding ceremony complete with traditional Bodu Beru drumming, a cruise with a photoshoot, four-course dinner and champagne breakfast the next day.
Seaplane Adventure
Depending on the resort, you can embark on private journeys on a luxury seaplane. It offers spectacular views of the islands and atolls surrounded by azure and turquoise waters; it’s also the ideal way to get to remote islands or sandbanks where you can dine, snorkel or just soak up the sun admit sublime privacy.
