Johnny’s back this week to talk about local Maldivian food and what we thought of it! As someone who enjoys other cultures, Beth tries to expose me to many different experiences when we’re abroad. This usually includes things that I might not expect, like going to a maid café in Japan or checking out the […]
We were fortunately able to visit two local islands, one being the capital Male’ and the other being a small island called Rasdhoo. This small island is the capital of the Alif Alif Atoll administrative division, and home to just over 800 people. Roads and floors alike were made of dirt, and building designs were simple. The whole […]
Of course it’s great to visit the Maldives to lie around doing absolutely nothing for a week, but what about the people who actually want to get out and do something? Being an island nation, you’re never too far from water. The Maldives is home to some of the best reefs in the world, and […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of a sunrise over the water villas in the Maldives. Each morning we were awoken by the sun starting to peak over the horizon, and each morning I found myself grabbing my camera to capture the breathtaking pinks and purples […]
It’s Thursday! So Johnny is back again to tell us a little about our surprise visit to Duniye, Kuramathi’s new gastronomic restaurant. Last week when we talked about our dining experiences, we mentioned the different a la carte restaurants conveniently placed throughout Kuramathi. One of the nights we had the opportunity to dine at one of those […]
One of the main reasons people want to travel to the Maldives, apart from the obvious natural beauty of the country and marine life, is for the chance to stay in an over water villa. You’ve probably seen a million photos circulating around the web of idyllic teak bungalows, peacefully situated above crystal-clear water. While […]
When we arrived in the Maldives, it was already dark outside. After a nights sleep in a small local hotel, we woke up to a rainy Male’. Our hotel was located in the middle of the island, so our anticipation began growing high as we still had yet to see the supposed azure waters of […]
Another morning of seaplane transfers, as we arrived back at the Malé International Airport, we were quickly whisked away by speedboat. We watched as Malé’s small skyline disappeared behind us, and in a few short minutes we reached our destination. Greeted with chilled mint towels and coconut ice cream, it was a refreshing introduction to our new island […]
Being unable to leave Hong Kong for the past six months, Johnny and I were ready for a bit of luxury and time away from the city. So what better place to relax and de-stress than in the Maldives at Kuramathi Island Resort, which became our home for the better part of one week. Arriving via seaplane, […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of Nature’s Zen Garden in the Maldives. Majority of our sunsets were spent at Kuramathi’s sand bank. Stretching far into the ocean at low tide, the sand bank was the perfect place to stroll and watch the sun set. With […]
