Why this trip
Anyone who thinks of the Maldives thinks of water in every shade of blue, and Malé is the gateway to it. The capital lies on a small island, and the atolls spread out from there are the real destination. For a lifelong wish such as the honeymoon or a round anniversary, it is a trip that can be planned in good time. Divers find at Shark Point a well known spot for encounters under water, and dive centres prepare for dives.
A sand bank offers a picture you tell about later: a strip of sand in the middle of the sea, nothing else. If you add Dhigurah as a neighbour, you come close to whale sharks. November to April is the dry season. As accommodation, the InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort and the dusitD2 Feydhoo come into question.
The flight time is about ten to twelve hours, mostly with a change. Because the resorts lie on their own islands, arrival and transfer are closely linked. Once in a Lifetime checks this with care in the video call and fixes the order, so that the day of arrival is not lost.
