You can imagine my surprise, when Johnny, someone who doesn’t know how to swim and couldn’t care less for beach holidays, told me his dream destination would be going to the Maldives. While I already couldn’t fathom the thought of hating beaches, I certainly couldn’t fathom why out of all places he would choose to […]
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 […]
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 […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of a heron at sunset in the Maldives. As our boat returned from the neighboring local island, the sun was beginning to set. We rushed off the boat, planning to watch some sting rays, but instead we found ourselves captivated […]
Iknow I don’t usually post on Sundays, but I wanted to announce our Maldives Month here on Besudesu Abroad. Remember how I said I wouldn’t be posting about Christmas this year? Well, it’s for a good reason! For all of December we’ll be covering our wonderful memories from the Maldives, and sharing them with you here. It’s […]
