How to spend your 3 day holiday escape in Maldives

In need of a holiday after all that time in lockdown and not having the chance to answer the call of wanderlust? If you are dreaming of spending lazy days on secluded shores and experiencing some tropical adventures too, then the Maldives is the perfect destination to cure those post-COVID-19 blues! If you have three days to spend in this enchanting nation, then here is a guide on what you can see and do for a truly unforgettable holiday.

Plan Your Visit

Before looking into the many allures the country has to offer, you should spend time on planning your visit. This will include when you decide to travel; the peak season when the weather is at its best is from November to April. While rates and airfare will be higher, you can look forward to plenty of sunshine-filled days. The off-peak season is from May to October and though the monsoons will bring rains during this time, you will also find days with sunshine; additionally, rates are less and there will be some great waves for surfing too.

When it comes to accommodation, look to stay at a luxury hotel Maldives has to offer on a private island. Ideally, choose one in the South Male Atoll; these properties are generally only a short speedboat ride from the international airport so you can maximise your time and fun during the three days! You will have the option of staying at a bungalow or villa either by the beach or over the water each providing plenty of coastal bliss.

Enjoy Water Sports

With a seemingly endless ocean playground on offer, water sports in Maldives is something you can look forward to trying on all three days! Stay at an island resort which offers a wide range of such water-based activities especially snorkelling and diving which give you a chance to witness the wonders below the waves.

Properties the likes of Velassaru Maldives are worth considering since they offer complimentary snorkelling equipment and guided tours as well as have dive centres offering the needed PADI courses and diving excursions. For more thrills in the water, you can try other water sports like wakeboarding, parasailing, kneeboarding, kayaking, water-skiing, windsurfing, catamaran sailing, fun tube rides and adventures with a SEABOB water rocket.

Head Off on Excursions

On your holiday, you can also look to embark on excursions away from your private island; of course, do remember to check what is on offer due to any COVID-19-related restrictions. A great way to start the day would be to take a morning cruise out to sea; later on, you can also visit a deserted island or sandbank where you can enjoy pure privacy and have a picnic lunch too.

Those staying near the capital, Male, can plan an excursion there and visit some of the main attractions in Maldives like the Grand Friday Mosque, Old Friday Mosque, Fish Market and National Museum. Big game or night fishing, dolphin spotting adventures and sunset cruises are just some of the other excursions you can consider including on your holiday.

Experience Wellness & Dining

As part of your getaway, enjoy the diverse wellness experiences on offer at spa resorts in Maldives. Some properties will have water treatment rooms which provide the perfect setting for holistic healing be it traditional therapies or modern beauty treatments including massages, scrubs, wraps and facials.

Resorts will offer diverse dining options too and you can look to try different restaurants on each day of your stay. Not to be missed is a chance to experience some unique options from a romantic candlelit beach dinner to a private sunset cruise where you can savour champagne and canapés.
