If you haven’t already checked out my YouTube channel, do take a look and subscribe as I have been posting all about Maldives on there.
Things to do in Maldives
1. Relax in the lagoon
Where you stay in Maldives, there is no doubt that you’re gonna have an access to the lagoon. So go ahead and relax in the lagoon. Even if you don’t know so if you go at low tide, you will be able to stand in the water and walk in it.
2. Go Snorkelling
When in Maldives don’t miss a chance to go snorkelling whether you do it yourself or you get professional training on the resort this is a highly enjoyable experience.
3. Enjoy the view from your bath
Wherever you stay, chances are you’ve got a great view from your bathroom. And if you’re staying in a water villa, then you’ve got the perfect ocean or Lagoon view.
4. Enjoy the jacuzzi with a view
Why you’re there don’t forget to hop into the Jacuzzi if you have one in your room chances are it looks out to the sea!
5. Look out for tropical birds
Sunsiyam Olhuveli has a bird sanctuary on site, but even if your result doesn’t have that, there’s always a chance that you will see tropical birds on your island so keep those eyes peeled!
6. Explore your resort
There is nothing more exciting than walking barefoot on the White Sands in Maldives. Most results are easily explorable on foot. 
7. Enjoy multiple pools
It is quite typical to Maldives to have at least 2 to 3 pools in your resort depending on how big it is. So enjoy those multiple pools that you have at your disposal. You will have sunbeds on the beach as well as around the pool.
8. Enjoy the pool side bars
Where there is a pool, there’s a poolside bar! if you’re on an all inclusive package, you can have as many cocktails and drinks as you want! But if you’re not, then you can still buy your drink!
9. Play chess
Sunsiyam Olhuveli has a nice big chess board on the beach that you can plan with. a lot of resorts in the Maldives have that which is quite cool!
10. Keep the kids busy with some resort fun and games
If you’re going to a family friendly resort, which most of them are, then you will have the resort organising a lot of fun activities and games for the kids. There’s also a kids club at most resorts that you can leave the children at if you wanted some time with your partner.
11. Watch Manta rays swim
There is nothing more beautiful than watching some Manta rays swim in the water. usually at night fall the Monets would get attracted to the light of the jetty and would come and keep swimming around that place. Within your resort, there would be a particular spot where these lovely Manta Rays love to come so I would highly recommend asking the resort staff where this area is and going there.
12. Take the dolphin cruise
Every resort will offer you a dolphin cruise. Definitely take this cruise even though they say that it’s not guaranteed that you will spot the dolphins but the staff are so experienced and there are just so many dolphins in and around the area that it’s quite easy to spot them and it’ll be a memorable experience. Depending on which kind of package you are on, some resorts will offer you one excursion for free I would highly recommend taking the dolphin Cruise.
13. Enjoy resort water sports
Every resort will have their own watersports centre where you can rent kayaking equipment, paddle boards, and also go on jet skis and other things. Again depending on your package type some results will offer you some of the equipment free to use.
14. Watch beautiful sunrises and sunsets
Don’t miss the sunrise as well as sunset while you’re in the Maldives.
15. Indulge in an Instagram worthy sunset photoshoot
Almost every resort can offer you a package for a photography obviously these are pretty expensive but if you have your own camera and an Instagram husband then just go for it yourself! 😂
16. Enjoy resort nightlife
Every resort will have a nice nightlife scene! if you’re into that then definitely go to the bar and the nighttime entertainment area.
17. Enjoy sunset dining
Apart from the main buffet restaurant, your resort will also have some à la carte restaurants that you can book yourself into to enjoy some sunset dining!
18. Enjoy the beautiful beaches
The best thing about Maldives is the white sand beaches and beautiful turquoise waters! And what’s a better way to enjoy and soak up some Sun other than going to the beach?
19. Go island hopping
Last, but not the least go Island hopping. Depending on which resort to stay at you will be able to explore some of the other resorts or take a trip down to the main local island of Male. Talk to your resort to organise these trips.
All in all it’s an amazing experience to go to the Maldives and it’s somewhere but I would always go in heartbeat.
