Diving in the Maldives is an experience one must endure.

Vaavu Atoll, Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives’s surrounding territory remains one of the least populated in the Maldives, giving a haven and a pristine area for marine life.

Before the equatorial sun shines bright above the ocean, dive into the waters of Vaavu Atoll for a private parade of tropical marine life. Swim up close to giant turtles, majestic manta rays and an endless collection of diverse fish including puffer fish, stone fish, clown fish and hundreds of others lighting up the coral reefs with kaleidoscopic spectacle.

3. Sail off into the sunset

Settle in on a local dhoni or a boat for a rejoiceful voyage on the serene waters soaking in the mesmerising sunset views. On rare occasions you may be joined by the eccentric company of the dolphins, masquerading along the cruise in magical synchrony. Settle into your seats with a glass of sparkling wine and delectable canapes as the crisp blue sky turns golden over the Indian Ocean, with uninterrupted views of the calm ocean waters and the white sandy beaches as a stunning backdrop. This enchanting excursion typically takes around two hours, enabling you to truly savour the experience and take in the magical moments.

4. Reel in the perfect catch

If your mind nudges for a bit of hustle amidst a luxurious holiday, hop on board a dhoni and sail off to the reef as the dusk falls around you for a tranquil sunset fishing ride. Using a hand-held line and bait, learn the art of angling, hook, line and sinker the way the Maldivian fishermen have for centuries. As you wait, playful dolphins or the soft ripples of the waters will keep you company. With a little bit of luck, you’d be able to snag several groupers, barracuda or snappers for a delicious feast for tomorrow!
