There are a lot of reasons to visit the Maldives. But this is a list of my favorite ones.
1. You get to Walk on the Stars: The Maldivian island of Vaadhoo located in Raa Atoll is a magical one. The shores of this island are made up of bioluminescent algae that twinkle like the stars above. While enjoying the view, a lot of people get lost in the feeling of floating between two-star fields. It’s a feeling that cannot be fully explained but has to be experienced. The feeling of walking through the water and creating ripples that sort of make the water shine brighter is even more euphoric.
2. Awesome Water Sports Adventures: The Maldives has everything a water sports fan could wish for. From canoeing to snorkeling, as well as rollerblading and everything in between. The various beaches mean a variety in wave intensity, water depth, and underwater life. So if you are a fan of extreme currents, certain islands have frequent rapids that will have you “whooo-ing” at the top of your lungs. Then there are also more mellow currents for snorkeling and enjoying the underwater life diversity.
3. The Excitement of Island Life: The Maldivians are a down-to-earth and welcoming people.
A vacation in the Maldives is simply a breath of fresh air.
