Excitement Under the Water
With some of the best diving conditions in the world, it is no surprise
that the main attraction in the Maldives is Scuba Diving. Cuddle close
together and enthrall yourselves by the view of fantastic marine life. Be
prepared to witness an explosion of color the likes you could hardly of
imagined, and for those who venture out into deeper waters, marvel at
swimming with turtles, manta rays, sharks and even whales.
However, if your better half is not keen on the idea of being several feet
under water, there is no need to worry about missing out on the thrill of a
lifetime. Snorkeling equipment is available for hire at all resorts, which
will enable to explore the local reef or shallow lagoons without going into
water any deeper than your waist.
Vigor Above the Water
There are a huge array of activities available to those who would rather
stay on the top of the waves. In recent years surfing has become more
popular since there are excellent breaks close to Malé, and some of
the outer atolls. Probably the second most popular activity behind scuba
diving is windsurfing. Adventure loving couples can go for something more
'fast and furious' such as Jet skis, water skiing, parasailing and banana
boat riding.
Rest and Relaxation
Maldives offer the opportunity for newly wed to put their feet up, relax,
and let the worries of the world disappear, as you look out across a
turquoise lagoon with the palm trees swaying in the distance. A wide range
of massage techniques are practices at a selection of the better quality
hotels
to bring a dazzling smile in your face. You choose between aroma therapy,
traditional Thai massage, or Indian head massage. Saunas, steam rooms and
Jacuzzis are available at many resorts.
Nightlife
Maldives is not famous for wild night life. Evenings are regularly spent in
the bar with a few beers and chatting to new friends. Whilst some resorts
offer entertainment seven nights a week, the more likely scenario is that
you will enjoy a weekly cultural show, along with one or two nights of disco
and karaoke.
Culture
Ways of sea farers make major part of the culture of Maldives. Best known
form of conventional music and dance is bodu beru. In almost all cultural
nights in tourist rresorts, the dance form entertains people. Local rock
bands also perform in the cultural events in the resorts. Maldivian culture
shares many aspects of ancient Dravidian culture. Many local Maldivian
dances and songs are influenced by North Indian dances Kathak and Hindi
songs. Bulbul, a kind of horizontal accordian, is the favorite musical
instrument of Maldivians. Influences from Arabia in Maldives are also
evident.
Cuisine
Staple food of the people of Maldivians are fish and rice. People have
great liking for fish dishes like fried fish, fish curry and fish soup. Meat
is consumed on special occasions. Resorts make alchohol available on
request. Don't forget to take a sip or two of 'raw', the local brew, a sweet
toddy tapped from the crown of the palm trunk.
