The Best Tropical Vacation Ideas in Maldives
The Maldives is full of tropical vacation excursions and ideas that are great for couples, families and adventurers. While not every island hotel offers every opportunity, the ultimate in vacation packages is to island hop between several resorts for a world-class experience of the best Maldives has to offer. NuLuxury Travel works with only 5-star resorts and offers residential experience that other agencies get only one month a year. We know year-round what to expect in weather, location and excursion.

Get Up Close With The Dolphins
It’s one thing to watch the Discovery Channel to see the activity of a school of Dolphins. It’s quite another experience to watch them flitter and patter in and out of the water playfully as you sit peacefully in the resort boat. Better yet, snap some lifetime memories with your waterproof camera and post it to Facebook. Your friends will be so jealous of this up close and personal visit with dolphins.

Snorkel or Dive the House Reefs
Every island in the archipelago of Maldives has its own reef circling the sandy beaches. Many are right outside your villa doors, making for a private swimming experience with the over 300 species of fish. Watching the fish swim by may seem tranquil enough, but actually getting in the water with them tops the prize for island experiences. Diving is also very popular, as is snorkeling, and can be done offshore at larger, less frequented reefs for a greater experience.

Take A Dare To Feed The Sharks
Not all hotels boast this tropical vacation idea, but it certainly is unique to the Maldives. Both whale sharks and hammerheads are rampant in the deeper waters near the exterior reefs. Whale sharks, in particular, are well-loved and the largest species of shark in the ocean. They live only in tropical and sub-tropical waters. Whether you choose a cage or a hands-on experience to dare to feed the sharks, you’ll likely be reeling from the adrenaline rush for hours after you get back on the boat. 

Travel The Island By Bike
Most resorts offer bikes for their guests to tour the islands. One resort even requires you leave the shoes at the gate. The best way to get a full-fledged experience is to travel across the island and take in its full beauty.  You may discover a secluded beach, or run across some local inhabitants. Perhaps even stop at a fresh juice bar for a refreshment. You can make an entire day, and even an entire family, trip out of travelling the island by bike.

Take A Cooking Class
Sometimes an extended vacation can get a bit repetitive when you’ve seen the sights, explored the reefs, and eaten at all the restaurants. So, many hotels now offer a variety of free and paid classes, especially in the area of cooking. Kids will love the pizza making class, and adults may love a twist of Indian cuisine lessons. Whatever the class, it involves food, so you know it’s going to be a blast. Of course, a little diversion from the usual is just as helpful.
