Life is like a perpetual journey and this time our destination is the island nation of turquoise water - The Maldives.
It was a couple trip for 4N/ 5D to the heavenly island of the Atoll. We started our most exciting trip from Kempegowda Airport (BLR) via Srilankan airways. One of the most economical yet very comfortable flight. It took us approximately 4 hrs to reach the Male airport from where we boarded a domestic flight to Maanigili Airport, which took us another 1 hours. From Maamigili airport we were transferred to The Sun Island - Resort & Spa on a speedboat crushing the waves of the Indian Ocean.
The next 4days were full of fun, food, relaxation and bonding sessions with the amazing aquatic world. To enjoy the island at it's best it is advisable to rent snorkelling gear and bicycle for all the days of your stay, which will cost you approx 10$ per day. However, I will definitely recommend a day devoted completely to deep-sea snorkelling or scuba diving to glide with the gigantic gentle sea creatures like the manta, sharks and other colourful marine lives. If you are lucky you may even encounter a rendezvous with the beautiful sea turtles. The tropical sunrise was another activity enlisted in my to-do list, and trust me it is one of the most amazing things your eyes have ever witnessed. Huddle your bike and camera to capture the first rays on the alabaster sand, I bet nothing will be a better souvenir you can take back home from this paradise. The resort arranges many excursion at an extra cost - like whale watching, chartered cruise trips for fishing or visiting other islands. If you are with family or kids one such a trip can be exciting. However, my personal favourite was relaxing on the beach with a cocktail and exploring the lonely terrain where your footprints are the only marks on the sand. Apart from the day trips the island offers many indoor and outdoor activities - like golf, tennis, chess and squash. To keep the guests engaged they also arrange different evening activities like - crab race, thumbhole and karaoke which is quite entertaining.
Last, not the least I cannot conclude my blog without mentioning about the flavoursome food which compromises a large variety of salads and juices to keep you hydrated along with the Japanese, continental and Italian cuisines to choose from.
Recommendation: 1. It is advisable to do forward planning as transport is difficult to islands from Male if not arranged prior. 2. It is always better to go for a full board option rather only accommodation - which will include food 3 times, as that covers almost all sorts of cuisines. 3. Ensure to select wisely and bargain on the watersports counter 4. Carry sunblock and other necessary toiletries as buying there will be an expensive affair. 5. Avoid shopping for clothes or jewellery apart from souvenirs as most of the stuff is very expensive.
