A deep dive into a story that's arcane, thoughtful, and sometimes humorous!
If there ever were the Atlantis of Luxury holiday, it has to be the Maldives! Here are a few of our recent discoveries and timeless classics to share with you.
Liveaboard and ScubaSPA
The best way to experience the true Maldives underwater marvels is to explore with a liveaboard boat between the 1,192 islands. The Maldives' crystal clear waters are home to mantas, whale sharks, and reef sharks, not to mention the brilliant flatworms and ghost pipefish who hide among its wrecks, coral gardens, channels, and pinnacles.
Maldives liveaboards make accessible the world-class dive sites of North Male Atoll, Ari Atoll, Baa Atoll, Hanifaru Bay, Rasdhoo and many more, including remote atolls in the far north and south where you'd be hard-pressed to see another liveaboard.
Documentaries and Films Shot in the Maldives!
After bringing democracy to his country, President Mohamed Nasheed of the Maldives, the lowest-lying country in the world, takes up the fight to keep his homeland from disappearing under the sea.
A real romance filmed over five years. Josephine and Zefrey simmer in the white hot apocalypse of first love until the throw of a dart finds them on a spontaneous trip to the Maldives and cracks open the question -- is their love true or just a performance?
An ice skating rink on a tropical island
Be carried away into a small winter wonderland of their own, while being enveloped by the warmth of the tropics. Maldives’ first, this 87 square meters, eco-friendly ice rink at Jumeirah Vittaveli.
The rink is made of Glice, a novel material from Switzerland that allows for eco-friendly ice rinks, eliminating the need to keep the ice rink cold.
Less than five per cent of the planet’s oceans have been explored. Unbelievable!
H2O by Chef Andrea Berton
Newly rebranded the underwater restaurant to H2O by Chef Andrea Berton, the first time in the world that an underwater restaurant will be branded and supervised by a Michelin Starred Chef.
