Attractions & Activities
You can enjoy a wide range of recreational activities during your Maldives vacation. Most resorts offer services that coordinate these activities for you.
Here are some of the main ones on offer:

One of the most fascinating trips available in the Maldives. Island hopping allows guests to experience life in an isolated Maldivian island. Most of the resorts offer half or full day island excursions.
An island hopping excursion may be included in your package although this is an optional extra in many resorts. Typically, visitors are transported to certain uninhabited islands to laze away on the beaches, enjoy a beach barbeque and do some snorkelling.
• Night Fishing
Ready to catch your own dinner? Many Maldives resorts offer night fishing trips where guests are furnished with fishing rods and transported by boat to popular fishing locations. Resort chefs will prepare and serve the catch upon the guest's return.
• Seaplane Photo Flight
If you want the opportunity to take the most spectacular photos of your trip, be sure to book a photo flight on a Maldivian Air sea plane.

Many of the island resorts offer full spa facilities. So set aside some time to pamper yourself during your stay.

Many resorts offer badminton, beach volleyball, tennis and soccer. Some offer squash courts and most have some type of games room offering ping pong, pool and a variety of board games.
