Maldives

South Ari Atoll is one of the few places in the world where whale sharks — the largest fish on Earth — can be encountered year-round. Schnorcheln and diving excursions are organised by most resorts in the area.

Hanifaru Bay in Baa Atoll is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and one of the world's finest Orte to watch Manta rays in their natural habitat, best experienced from June to November when plankton blooms attract large aggregations.

From almost every resort, the lagoon is steps away for spectacular snorkelling: colourful corals, sea turtles, parrotfish and blacktip reef sharks glide through crystal-clear shallow water just off the beach.

The dhoni is the traditional Maldivian wooden boat. A sunset cruise or night fishing trip aboard a dhoni is an unmissable experience for immersing yourself in local culture away from the resort bubble.

Malé, one of the world's most densely populated capitals, offers a fascinating urban experience: early-morning fish market, the gilded Friday Mosque, the National Museum and the lively lanes of old Malé — best explored on foot or by bicycle.

The Maldives are a world-class surf destination for experienced surfers. Pasta Point, Sultans and Chickens deliver consistent, hollow and powerful waves on near-deserted atolls far from the tourist trail.
