The Maldives is one of the most beautiful destinations on Earth for you to have a beach holiday and if you want to know how to have the perfect one, read on.

Finding the perfect resort

When it comes to enjoying the best kind of beach holidays in this country, there is no other way you can do it but to choose a resort island and stay in it. If you want to experience different kinds of views, then you might also opt for island hopping. For instance, if your Maldives holiday lasts for a week, you can stay on one Island resort for three days, and for the remaining days of your holiday, choose to stay in another. A beach holiday, especially one in an amazing place like the Maldives, is usually centered around your resort, and choosing the right one can make or break your beach holiday. You might want to go for resorts owned by an international hotel group the likes of Minor Hotels to get the utmost experience out of your vacation. When booking a room, keep in mind that you can either choose to book a room that faces the sunset or the sunrise. If you are someone who is an early riser, you can opt for the sunrise room and if you are someone who likes to sleep in late then you can opt for the sunset room.

Go beyond the beach

You cannot completely experience a beach holiday in the Maldives if you just stay on the sand. You have to go beyond the shores and venture into the waters. The best way to explore everything this country has to offer to a tourist is to go scuba diving during your holiday. The landscapes you find underwater here are unlike anything you will see in other parts of the world. From colourful coral formations to a variety of fish, you will find yourself in a magical kingdom when you dip underwater in the Maldives.

This is yet another experience you must add to your list to complete your holiday in the Maldives. Dolphins are some of the friendliest and cutest mammals on Earth and watching them playfully go about their day is a treat for people of any age. There are various tour operators who will take you for a dolphin watching excursion in the Maldives. Most of the dolphins are so used to these excursions and visitors that some of them even come right up to the ship and greet you.

Getting a massage

No holiday is perfect until you get yourself a relaxing massage. Reward yourself during your Maldives holiday by treating yourself to a Balinese or Ayurvedic massage at any one of the high-end spa treatments available. Make sure you keep aside a complete spa day and book yourself for everything your heart desires at this spa.

Relaxing on the beach

Last but definitely not least, this is an activity you have to keep time for when you are on a beach vacation in any part of the world, let alone, the Maldives. Chill on the beach. Enjoy the sunny weather. Have a cold drink by your side, and read a book or just live in the moment. These will be some of the best memories you make and they would also instantly make you forget about your daily life and problems back home. As always, do not forget a large hat, sunglasses and plenty of sunscreen if you are planning on staying by the waves during the day for a long period of time!
