Champagne Beach (Dhonhuavaru)
Fittingly named for its abundant champagne-hued sands, Champagne Beach is one of the most sought-after spots in all of the country.
This unique beach finds itself nestled within a bustling resort, yet retains its relaxed atmosphere with several campsites and even yoga classes on offer. The idyllic location doesn’t hurt either – sipping cocktails under towering coconut palms makes for an unforgettable scene!
The serene setting here is just as captivating as the beach itself; there are numerous well-equipped lavender huts scattered across this secluded paradise that create a haven from any worldly distractions.
Don’t be surprised if you find yourself yearning to return to this tranquil haven of tranquility!
Huvandhippu Reethi Beach (Dhaidhoo)
In the center of Huvandhippu Reethi Beach is a tranquil lagoon sandwiched between two crescent-shaped beaches. This idyllic terrain provides ample space for sunbathing and watersports such that it attracts visitors from all over the globe for its captivating ambiance.
If you seek out this secluded paradise, look no further than your own travel agent or resort concierge who can arrange customized package options designed just for you.
During peak season in July and August, accommodations here typically run around $350 – $450 per night; however, during off-season periods such as January and February travelers can secure up to 80% discounts on these rates!
Thulhagaa Island (Vilinga)
From the rustic outpost of Vilinga, guests can set sail for a mesmerizing excursion to Thulhagaa Island – an idyllic shoal nubile in its natural state.
To reach this secluded abode, one must first embark on a one-hour boat trip from Male. Then, you’ll be able to relax at the deserted bay while indulging in food and drink; during the day it is possible to journey here by speedboat or small rowing boat. Alternatively, if you prefer not to travel any distance then take advantage of numerous arrival points within close proximity. If traveling there is imperative for any reason whatsoever then it may prove worthwhile opting for charter services instead!
Fushi Island Resort and Spa (Dhiveshkuru)
Fushi Island Resort and Spa is located in a serene bay off the idyllic island of Fushi, where Iyana Hatuma has been designated as a special area by UNESCO. This stunning retreat allows guests to completely cut ties with reality; providing an ideal opportunity for indulging in pampering treatments while free from distractions.
Fushi takes its name from famed composer Ravi Shankar who famously recorded an album here in 1978. The Indian-influenced design at this resort spotlights the ambiance of its aesthetic yet cosmopolitan character – creating a sense of enchantment all around!
Minneriya Island (Dhaidhdhoo)
After a day of exploration at the capital city of Malé, I took a flight south to the island of Dhaidhdhoo.
At just over an hour’s journey by speedboat from Malé International Airport, this idyllic destination is surrounded by pristine waters teeming with marine life and jutting out into the Indian Ocean.
Despite its proximity to both Male and Hithadhoo Island, Minneriya has retained a singular quality among its coastal communities here on the Mainland through decades of protectionism. Despite this deliberate decision not to develop further, two boutique hotels were recently granted permits for establishment – more than recent years experienced for similar ventures!
Gili Lankanfushi Maldives (LANKA)
Gili Lankanfushi, another secluded island in the Maldives and a popular destination for surfing enthusiasts. Gili Lankanfushi is a sandy crescent roughly 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) in length located within the Exuma Cays National Park.
The idyllic locale of Gili Lankanfushi offers guests an enchanting tropical beach experience, with turtles basking in the sun or frolicking alongside them at their leisurely pace; aquamarine waters providing a captivating backdrop against which the turquoise hues of coral reefs are contrasted vividly.
Those seeking to relax upon Gili Lankanfushi delight in its invigorating sands and breezy climate during daytime hours along with convenient facilities such as water sports and snorkeling excursions available if desired; diving activities too can be undertaken by those desiring more adventure into this activity
Conclusion
When planning your next Maldives vacation, be sure to experience one of the captivating beaches in the archipelago! With its stunning vistas and pristine waters, you’ll be delighted by its tranquility.
