While the Maldives may be promoted as the perfect destination for couples and families, don’t disregard its appeal for the independent traveller too. If you’re travelling solo, here’s what you can look forward to.
Beachside Bliss
Set amidst secluded shores, a Maldives beach resort is perfect if you’re looking to get away from it all. You can stay at a beach bungalow and wake up to the sound of the waves, work on that holiday tan, read your favourite book in the shade and savour some fine wine as you witness a magical sunset.
Spa Pampering
The best way to unwind on a solo holiday is to indulge in some spa treatments; you deserve it after all! Island resorts the likes of Faarufushi Maldives have their own spas which feature a range of options. Spoil yourself with a rejuvenating massage or facial, try a revitalising body treatment or get a mani-pedi too.
Thrills in the Water
There are plenty of fun water sports in Maldives you can enjoy by yourself. Snorkelling is the easiest and most captivating activity where you can spend hours on end exploring colourful underwater worlds. Stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, surfing, jet skiing and deep sea fishing are also great solo activities, while you can join a diving tour as well.
The Call of Adventure
For more exploration, try some island hopping to some of the inhabited islands in the Maldives. It offers insights into the country’s traditional way of life and is a great opportunity to interact with the locals and learn about Maldivian culture too.
