Tucked in a quiet corner of the Indian Ocean is an idyllic chain of islands known as the Maldives. Known for its abundance of luxurious resorts and stunning natural beauty, the Maldives has earned its spot on most travelers’ bucket lists. However, the question remains: what do you do when you get to the Maldives? Aside from soaking up the sun, here are six must-have experiences in this tropical paradise.


1. Private Beach Picnic

   If you are looking for peace, quiet, and a unique experience, then a private beach picnic is just the thing for you. Enjoy a delicious gourmet meal prepared by a local chef as you sit back and enjoy your tranquil surroundings. It’s the perfect way to embrace the serenity of the Maldives.


2. Snorkeling and Diving

   Snorkeling and diving in the Maldives is an absolute must. The crystal-clear turquoise waters provide you with excellent visibility. The abundance of reefs around the island will dazzle you with their colorful and exotic fish collection, creating an underwater paradise you’ll never want to leave.


3. Dhoni Sunset Cruise

   A Dhoni is a traditional Maldivian boat that is perfect for a sunset cruise. Watch the sun setting over the horizon as you cruise around the islands. If you are lucky, you may even spot some spinner dolphins swimming by, adding an extra magic touch to your evening.


4. Try Mas Huni

   For the traveler looking to experience the local flavor, mas huni is just the dish. This traditional Maldivian breakfast is made of finely chopped tuna, onion, coconut, and chili. While it is a far cry from eggs and bacon, you might be surprised by how much you enjoy the tangy and fresh flavor of mas huni. It’s a delightful culinary adventure.


5. Dance Along to the Boduberu

   The Boduberu is a traditional Maldivian rhythmic drumming, singing, and dancing exhibition. The atmosphere around the performance is exhilarating and will give you a feel for the local culture and traditions. Immerse yourself in the beat and connect with the Maldivian spirit.


6. Party It Up on the Island of Finolhu
