Oh Maldives, Maldives! If only I could go back!
I must say, Maldives has by far the prettiest ocean I have ever laid my eyes on. It is a color that I cannot even explain; it is just admirable in every way possible. Which by the way, the photos do not make justice, I promise you! You did not even have to snorkel or scuba dive to see the beautiful fishes and sharks. You could see them extremely clear by just looking down. There are also baby reef sharks that come to shore. They are super friendly and I couldn’t even believe it. If anything, they are more scared of you than you are of them. Snorkeling was breathtaking! Seeing the life under water and just admiring how beautiful god’s creation truly is, it is beyond a blessing. The coolest thing I saw while snorkeling was the “drop-off.” Which was seeing the shallow reef areas around the island and then it just drops super steep. It was seeing how the ocean goes from turquoise to dark blue but all under water, it was beyond stunning.

I forgot to mention, for those that do not know anything about Maldives….Maldives is their own country located below Sri Lanka, and it is composed of atolls and hundreds of islands. All the resorts are on their own private Island! I mean how cool is that? If you do not like the beach, water sports, drinking and relaxing: THIS VACATION IS NOT FOR YOU!
As soon as you arrive to the airport, your resort will transport you to your final destination. You will either take a boat or a sea plane to your resort. I remember stepping out of the airport and welp, there were the boats waiting. I mean, it wasn’t even a 20 second walk from the airport to the boat. It was literally right there! I must admit I was amaze. But I think I was more amaze at the color of the water than at the structure of the airport/transportations.
The resorts in Maldives also offer over the water bungalows. If you want to get the full Maldives experience, I recommend getting one. I cannot even describe how amazing is to see the sunrise/sunset from your patio and being able to wake up and start your day snorkeling without having to leave your room. The seclusion from being in a bungalow is priceless. On top of that, you may just get lucky and see a pod of dolphins playing in your backyard.

The food in the resort was amazing and so were their restaurants! But my favorite by far was the Arabic restaurant, yummy so delicious! (Craving it as we speak!) Then it was the Italian restaurant and the Thai restaurant. But I literally have no complaints, even the buffet was great. I thought it was very nice that all the restaurants had sand as their floor. I could take my shoes off and play with my feet on the sand. Oh but of course, I cannot forget having dinner on the beach. A table set right on the beach, secluded and extremely romantic with a seafood platter. Which was exquisite! But the coolest meal of all was the octopus that we caught fishing the day before. I mean, who catches their own octopus and then eats it? BEST EXPERIENCE EVER
Maldives, is so far my top destination, just beautiful! Although I must say, Maldives is the most expensive destination I have been to. However, it is worth every penny! If you have the luxury of going, I would definitely recommend it! You will NOT be disappointed.
