The rest are left for the industrial purpose or for the “picnic spots” (in the forms of resorts) which are left aside for the tourists.

  1. Diving
  2. Fishing
  3. Surfing

If you look at the resorts in Maldives, virtually, you will find that every single resort has its own “house reef” built close and a private professional dive center. This renders snorkelers and “kaleidoscopic collection of tropical fishes”.

While you stay in Maldives, you will involve yourself in the hybrid yet comprehended culture which you haven’t been witnessed any before.

Serving as a crossroad between few of the islands from the southern India, Maldives serve as diversifying yet wonderful travel. The disclosed fact about Maldives is you will discover purely African rhythm, “Boduberu is the traditional dance of Maldives which can illustrate it all well.

Beside this dance you will listen, the language along with the rhythm of those perfectly played drums that will literarily take you to the eastern region of America.

If you are fond of the Indian origins of Maldivians, you can easily find it in some of the culinary specialties.

Just like Indian culture, you will see the Maldivians showing respect to their elders which further enhance their bond with the immediate as well as extended family members.

The role that women play in the Maldivian society is respectable and very well considered, especially when the laws of the society apply equally to both men as well as the women. However, the women maintain their maiden name even after the marriage. At most of the regions in Maldives, Islamic code of conduct prevail which every resident and citizen is anticipated to follow.

Another common fact between Indians and Maldivians is that, only after attaining the age of 18years, they can marry. It is quite common for the males to have 4 wives altogether. You will hardly encounter the practice of polygamy which indeed, is rare.

Accommodations In Maldives


It’s a fact that no building can challenge the height of palm trees in Maldives. There are two most visible kinds of rooms available in the resorts of Maldives, they are:

  1. The water bungalow (well known as villas of suites)
  2. The beach bungalow

Coming to the categorizes of resort, you will often come across the resorts containing two storey blocks of rooms while some of them are having second floors and mezzanine.

The best rooms yet cocooned in comfort are those which gives you the feel of living in islands of Maldives. You may find it difficult to allocate resorts of these kinds but if you are lucky you will get one.

When talking particularly about the water bungalows, they are though well-furnished but are far away located from your diving school, reception of the resort or your place of dining.

Next one, “Green villas” are present in some of the resorts which are obviously not on the beach but somewhere around the island. These are economical only when the resorts are fully occupied.

Glad tidings! Many resorts also have the option of rendering a safari boat to you which is offered free of cost for 1 or 2 nights.
