Maldives Accommodations

Maldives accommodations

Maldives accommodations invite you to a destination officially named the Republic of Maldives. Known for its white sandy beaches, warm & clear turquoise waters, over-water villas, spas, infinity pools, fine dining restaurants and water sports activities, Maldives consists of 26 natural atolls. Atolls by definition are ring-shaped reefs, islands, or chains of islands formed of coral. An archipelagic state and country in South Asia, Maldives is located remotely in the Indian Ocean, about 1,700 miles southwesterly of India / Sri Lanka. Lagoon waters, which encompass each of the over-1,000 Maldives islands, average 3-5 feet in depth, while the deeper-blue, outward Indian Ocean waters can reach depths of over 13,000 feet. Maldives’ natural ground levels average only 5 feet above sea  level, making it earth’s lowest country.

Maldives main airport: Velana International Airport

From the airport, accommodations are accessible via speedboat, sea plane or domestic flight (see accommodation fine print for details).

Maldives accommodations are set largely on their own small islands. Of course, snorkeling and scuba diving are just two examples of outstanding watersport activities. Maldives sea life includes various reef fish, tuna, sea turtles, octopus, squid, lobsters, dolphins and stingrays. While several shark species do exist in Maldives (such as reef sharks), attacks on humans are extremely rare. More dangerous than sharks in Maldives are stingrays. It’s best to try and keep your distance from stingrays while not swimming too close to the ocean floor. Stingrays are known to hide in sand to avoid predators, and their tails can act like daggers. Snorkeling and scuba diving generally are very safe activities in Maldives. However, there are some sea creatures to avoid. Apart from common stingrays, Maldives’ potentially dangerous sea animals include Lionfish (venomous), Stonefish (venomous), Blue-ringed Octopus (venomous), Blue-spotted Rays (venomous), Moray Eels, Sea Urchins (pointy), Triggerfish, Barracuda and Surgeonfish. Knowledge of these creatures is beneficial, but the creatures themselves should not deter you from any water activities. Home to some incredible reef fish, coral can be extremely sharp like a razor blade. Be sure to follow any dive shop / water sport equipment rental agency tips / advice. On land, modest dress is advisable while in public. As Maldives is a Muslim country, things like drugs, alcohol and dogs (pork hot dogs and actual dogs) are strictly prohibited in public places. Avoid Malé at night and be sure not to wear shoes in homes or mosques. Most likely you’ll be in tourist areas / resorts, and won’t have to worry about these technicalities. Maldives accommodations are some of the world’s best. Before we get to Maldives accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Maldives has been inhabited for an estimated 2500 years. Scribed by early Maldives settlers, copperplate documents (Loamaafaanu) provide the best reference to early settlement. Of Indian origin, Gujaratis from Sri Lanka are thought to be Maldives’ first settlers sometime around 500 BC. Boatbuilding methods and silver punch-marked coins found in Maldives are evidence of a North Indian cultural influence. A Sri Lankan immigration to the area is documented in the 300 BC historical chronical Mahāvaṃsa. with legendary first settlers denoted as Divi and Dheyvi. Likely built of wood and palm fronds, early Maldives buildings have naturally perished. Apart from its legendary origins, Maldives was largely dominated by Buddhist and Islamic periods, which lasted until 1558, when the Portuguese set up a small garrison in the area. Unsuccessfully, the Portuguese attempted to establish Christianity on the islands. In turn, locals eventually drove out the Portuguese.  By the mid-17th century, the Dutch had established a hegemony, a political, economic and military predominance, in the area. Like the Portuguese before them, however, the Dutch too were driven out, albeit by British, not local, enforcement. Maldives remained a British crown protectorate from 1796 until 1952. Britain attempted to install a constitutional monarchy, but was met by an angry mob that publicly tore up the crown’s Constitution. Britain’s 853-year monarchy ended on March 15, 1968, when the Maldives parliament ruled in favor of a Republic. On November 11, 1968 an official Republic was established under president Ibrahim Nasir. Tourism commenced in the early-1970s with the opening of Kurumba Maldives resort on North Male Atoll.

Pronounced maal · deevz, Maldives is Asia’s smallest country by land area and population. Home to around 520,000 “Dhivehins”, Maldives is an isolated archipelago in the Arabian Sea. Maldives is home to underwater villas, which are multi-level luxury residences with a master bedroom submerged below sea level. These master bedroom “aquariums” provide panoramic views of marine life. An example of an underwater villa is The Muraka Residence found at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island. Maldives’ capital is Malé, which is pronounced maa · leh. Home to around 250,000 people, Malé is one of the world’s most densely-populated cities. Malé is also known as “King’s Island” due to its ancient royal dynasties, which  ruled from its central location. Malé generally isn’t frequented by tourists. If you do happen to find yourself there, however, be wary especially during protests and at night, as mugging  and pickpocketing are known to occur. Apart from not wearing shoes in houses or mosques, be sure not to hold hands or kiss publicly if in Malé. Home to a tropical monsoon climate, Maldives experiences hot and humid weather throughout the year. Average high temperatures stay in the upper 80s ℉. Maldives’ rainiest month typically is November, though December and May also receive above-average rainfall. Direct flights between the USA and Maldives do not exist. A common flight route from the USA to Maldives goes through Doha, Qatar. Direct flights to Velana International Airport are also possible from the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, France, Italy, Poland, Austria, Russia and Turkey. Maldives local foods include garudia (soup – dried / smoked fish, rice, lime, chili), kandu kukulhu (traditional dish – tuna curry),  gulha (snack food – tuna and coconut dumplings), masroshi (stuffed fried dough snack), roshi (flat bread), tuna, rice, coconut, screwpine fruits, rihaakuru (tuna-based thick sauce), pickles, various curries and spicy sauces. Apart from tuna, wahoo and mahi-mahi are the most common fish dishes. Alcoholic beverages are found commonly in most resorts, though keep in mind that the general population does not consume alcohol. Owing to British tradition, kalhu sai (black tea) and kiru sai (milk tea) are common local drinks. With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Maldives accommodations that are sure to amaze.
