What’s the weather like in the Maldives?
Adding to the many reasons that make the Maldives such an attractive tourist destination is its pleasant tropical climate. The country enjoys warm, sunny weather throughout the entire year, with the temperatures usually hovering between 26ºC and 31ºC.
What foods should I try in the Maldives?
Visitors also enjoy the privilege of being able to indulge in the unique—and certainly delicious—traditional cuisine of the Maldives. The abundance of fresh seafood (tuna, in particular, is an essential element) along with the influence of neighboring countries like India, makes for some truly spectacular dishes.
Not to be missed is the traditional fish broth known as garudhiya, one of the most popular lunch dishes in the Maldives. It is typically made with tuna, onions, and chilies. Several curry dishes are also widely available, including tharukaaree riha (a vegetable curry) and rhon riha (a tuna curry).
If you have a sweet tooth, you’ll be in luck during your stay in the Maldives. Maldivian cuisine is rich in delicious desserts such as handulu bondibai (a rice pudding flavored with coconut and cinnamon, among other ingredients) and dhonkeyo kajuru (fried banana fritters).
What are the top sights in the Maldives?
With its clear waters filled with a diverse marine life, gorgeous white sand, and abundant tropical plants, the Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll is an ideal spot for lovers of nature. When you stay with NH Hotels in the Maldives at the NH Collection Maldives Havodda Resort, you’ll enjoy the perfect location and facilities to discover all that it has to offer.
Thulusdhoo island is one of the most unique destinations in the Maldives. It is renowned for its standing as a prime location for many water sports and activities (including surfing, snorkeling, and dolphin watching) and for its Coca-Cola factory, which holds the distinction of being the only one in the world that uses desalinated water.
The fish market located in Malé, the country’s capital, is as lively and as colorful a sight as you could hope to enjoy. The hustle and bustle as the daily catch arrives and as customers pass through will allow you to peer into the daily commercial life of the Maldives.
While the natural scenery might be the first thing to come to mind when thinking about the Maldives, the country also has beautiful ancient architecture. One of the most striking examples is the Old Friday Mosque, which was built in 1656 and is made from coral stone, which has been chiseled with gorgeous and intricate decorations.
Visiting the National Museum of the Maldives is a great way of becoming acquainted with the country’s rich culture and history. A plethora of artifacts are displayed here from the Buddhist and Islamic eras of the Maldives, including ancient thrones, arms, ornaments, and costumes.
How to arrive in the Maldives?
The main international point of entry into the Maldives is the Velana International Airport (MLE), which is located nearby Malé, the country’s capital. It serves many major international flights and connects passengers to other islands in the Maldives through several domestic flights.
What’s the best way of getting around in the Maldives?
All of the islands in the Maldives can be easily explored by foot. This makes walking the cheapest, most convenient, and most scenic way of getting around any given island in the country. Because of this, car rental services are hard to find in the Maldives, however, taxis are available on its larger islands, including Malé.
When it comes to travelling between different islands, you’ll have several options at your disposal during your time in the Maldives. For one, many domestic flights are operated by local airlines. Boats, ferries, and seaplanes are also readily available.
