DISCOVER YOUR OWN SECRET PARADISE IN THE BEAUTIFUL MALDIVES

More and more travellers are desiring unique and personal holiday experiences, further from the usual tourist hot spots. It’s not surprising therefore that an increasing number of people are consciously choosing to travel local.

Why Choose Local Travel In The Maldives?

The Maldives is generally regarded as an exclusive high-end tourist destination. Resort style vacations offer luxury and private holiday experiences. Yet one of the best-kept secrets of the Maldives is in fact local travel – a more affordable alternative to a resort style vacation.

Think white sandy beaches and sparkling tropical lagoons fringed with coconut palms. A local island vacation ticks many of the boxes of a typical resort experience, but has the added bonus of an authentic holiday rich in culture. Embarking on a tour not only has the big plus of a cheaper price tag, but also means discovering inhabited and uncrowded the Maldives islands.

Travel local and you are destined to access many places most tourists will simply not get to see. Cruise between sunny Maldivian islands on board a local ferry and be graced by the true natural beauty of the Maldives. Wander the surroundings of each tropical island and discover the Maldivian way of life. Gain real insight into Maldivian culture by tasting traditional foods like hedhikaa (afternoon tuna snacks) and learn a little of the local language, Dhivehi.Relish the perfection of uncrowded beaches and beautiful tropical temperatures. Island depending, it’s possible that you may just find yourself to be one of just a handful of tourists staying at a particular island at any one time. Staying local means there are also options to enjoy private sandbank excursions, fishing, snorkeling or diving trips, dolphin sunset cruises or full days of adventure activities.
