2. Snorkeling and Diving Sites: The Maldives is home to some of the best snorkeling and diving sites in the world, with colorful coral reefs and diverse marine life.

3. Historical Sites: The Maldives has a rich history, and there are several historical sites that are worth visiting, such as the Hukuru Miskiy mosque in Male, the oldest mosque in the country, and the Utheemu Ganduvaru, the childhood home of Sultan Mohamed Thakurufaanu.
4. Bioluminescent Beaches: At night, some beaches in the Maldives light up with bioluminescent plankton, creating a magical and otherworldly experience.This bluelight emission in the middle of the night is something absolutely mesmerising and worth dying for…
5. Local Food: Maldivian cuisine is often overlooked, but it offers a unique blend of Indian, Sri Lankan, and Arabic flavors. Some must-try dishes include mas huni (a coconut and tuna salad), garudhiya (a fish soup), and kulhi boakibaa (a fish cake).
