What water activities are commonly available in the resorts?
Snorkelling and PADI-certified scuba diving tend to be offered at the larger resorts but depending on your packages, charges may apply. As for other activities, kayaking, banana boats, windsurfing, jet-skis and even catamaran sailing can be found – Ask our team if there’s a specific activity you’re interested in.
What are the restaurants like and what can I expect?
We recommend all-inclusive for keeping costs down, as your isolated location leads to resorts charging higher prices for á la carte options and beverages. Most resorts will have a buffet option available at breakfast, lunch and dinner, alongside 1-3 specialist restaurants which often include beach grills, Japanese, and Italian/Mediterranean. If you’re looking for variety, you won’t get any better than the Siyam World Maldives resort, offering an incredible 8 restaurants & 6 bars!

Talk to our agents if there’s something in particular you’re looking for, we’d be happy to help.
