Properties we love in Maldives:
One of the most significant aspects of vacationing in Maldives is the myriad of properties available for travelers to choose from. Here are some of the properties that we love:
- Joali Maldives: This luxurious resort is perfect for travelers who want to relax and disconnect. Situated on a private island, it boasts of villas and overwater bungalows, where each accommodation is designed to offer an exceptional experience. Joali Maldives also has an art-inspired park and a kid’s club, making it an ideal destination for families with kids. Super luxe, super divine! They have a Wellness island called Joali Being as well, which I was lucky enough to spend 4 days on… it was heaven.. This is more about healing and helping body and soul.

All-inclusive or not? Good question.
There are so many varieties of properties and structures available in the Maldives that you don’t necessarily have to choose an all-inclusive option. All-inclusive packages can be costly, and if you’re an adventurous traveler who wants to explore the culture and local cuisine, it’s essential to opt for a property that offers a la carte options. Most resorts have a wide range of restaurants and bars, each catering to different food styles and international cuisines. We always recommend fully inclusive where you can because onsite can get expenny so pay as much in advance as you can.
Romance:
Maldives is also synonymous with romance, making it an idyllic destination for couples seeking a memorable honeymoon. Various islands cater specifically to honeymooners, promising a private and intimate experience. Most of the properties in Maldives offer romantic extras such as candlelit dinners, sunset cruises or private beach picnics, making Maldives the perfect destination to celebrate… llooooorrrve and lovers!
Afraid of flying in small planes?
If you are a bit nervous of flying in small planes, Maldives also offers an alternative mode of transport- boats!! Speedboats, small boats, small charters and yachts are readily available to take you to the various resorts and islands located in the Maldives that are closer by to the international airport in Male.
Latest travel trends:
The latest travel trend in Maldives is combining your island getaway with an African safari. Flying from Maldives to Africa to experience wildlife and or the other way around (fondly known as a bush and beach holiday) is super easy. You now have the opportunity to combine the tranquillity and relaxation of the Maldives with the adventure and thrill of a Safari…
