MALDIVES ITENERARY
ITENERARY DESCRIPTIONS
BANANA REEF
This reef is one of the first dive sites discovered in the Maldives and is a protected marine area.
This reef is very popular among photographers due to the amazing marine life and reef shape.
On the north east side are big spectacular rocks, caves, canyons and precipitous overhangs.
The scenery is spectacular around these rocks and canyons, with predatory fish like shark,
barracuda, trivially and black snapper. Also a school up to 1000 yellow snapper, humpback red
snappers and oriental sweet lips are lighting up the reef.
ITHAA
Ithaa, which means mother-of-pearl in Dhivehi, is an undersea restaurant located 5 metres
below sea level at the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island in Alif Dhaal Atoll in the Republic of
Maldives.
VAADHO ISLAND
Imagine spending a day relaxing on the Maldives’s pristine beaches and watching the sunset
over some of the world’s best landscapes. Then, after a nice meal, return to the soft sands and
stroll hand-in-hand along the beach. Gaze into the sky and see countless stars and the faint
outline of the Milky Way. Look over at the inky black Indian Ocean in the mid-distance. Then
stare at the bluish glow and sparkling of the water lapping against the shore. This natural
phenomenon in the Maldives is known as the Sea of Stars. And to take this romantic experience
to the next level, it’s possible to dine al fresco next to it.
HUKURU MISKIIY
The Malé Hukuru Miskiy, also known as the Malé Friday Mosque or the Old Friday Mosque is
one of the oldest and most ornate mosques in Malé. Situated opposite the Medhuziyaaraiy,
which is the tomb of Al-Hafiz Abul Yoosuf Al-Barbari of Morocco, who converted Maldives
into Islam in 1153 AD, and the Muliaage in the heart of the city, the Hukuru Miskiy dates back to
1656 and has been added to the UNESCO World Heritage cultural list as a unique example of
sea-culture architecture.
TIPS BEFORE AND GOING TO MALDIVES
When people talk about the Maldives, they are referring to a collection of islands,
or archipelago, located in the Indian Ocean. Which comprises of The Maldives” is
made up of almost 1,200 small islands
The Maldives is only an hour away from Sri Lanka by plane. If you’re planning
to visit Sri Lanka, why not add on a few days in the Maldives (or vice versa)
To enter the Maldives no pre-arrival visa is required. A thirty day visa is issued on
arrival for all nationalities, but you need to make sure your passport has at least 6
months of validity remaining and that you have a valid ticket out of the Maldives.
You are not allowed to bring liquor to the Maldives. If you bought any beer, spirits
or wine from a duty free shop on your way to the Maldives, you have to leave them
with customs at the airport and you can pick it up on the way out of the Maldives.
Islam is the official religion of the Maldives. Islam was introduced to the Maldives
at the end of the 12th century and the vast majority of its population are Sunni
Muslim. Pork and alcohol are forbidden on local islands,
The Maldives sees an influx of travelers from December to March, and hotel prices
tend to be more expensive during these months.
Don’t be surprised if your hotel is one to two hours ahead of the time in Male.
Many resorts have their own “island time” to make the most of sunlight hours
If you’re on somewhat of a budget, you’ll probably want to head somewhere close
to the airport. This way, you can hop on a shared boat or private speedboat and
get to the local guesthouse relatively easily.
The Maldives has outrageously cool marine life. The Maldives has some of the
most mind-blowing marine life, with more than 1,000 fish species, 40 species of
sharks, dolphins, turtles, tropical fish, manta rays, sting rays, sea turtles and even
whale sharks.
Taking seashells with you is illegal because Shells end up being homes for hermit
crabs and they in turn play a huge role in controlling the sand fly population
Given the remote location of the islands, you would expect somewhat patchy
internet connectivity. However, it’s actually not horrific! You can buy a local SIM
card at the airport.
