Best Things to Do in Maldives
With 1,190 islands (only 200 are inhabited), you've got plenty of territory to explore. But, despite the numerous options, most visitors simply lounge on the palatial resort island of their choice. While we completely understand the need to unwind poolside, we recommend you take a few excursions. For one, the capital city of Male' (one of the smallest capitals in the world) bustles with activity from the fishing docks to the National Museum. If you are scuba diver, you can't miss the riveting Maldives Victory shipwreck and the terrifying shark-filled Fish Head area. And don't forget about the beaches! The soft sands fade into turquoise reefs beneath blue waters—the sight is priceless.
