  You can certainly visit another island-hotel than your own, or even a desert island and an island village.

  To do

  Once you get to your island, it might seem that there is not a lot to do, though there are several different activities such as diving, snorkeling, water sports and land sports. Feel free to enjoy a massage in the spa, which is very professionally done. You can also go fishing in the daytime and at night. As well as this, the hotel will serve you a barbecue on a desert island and you can visit a local island and another island hotel.

  To think about

  Think about buying an underwater camera. The fauna and flora of the submarine world are particularly rich in the Maldives. Since the end of El Nino in 1998, fish are becoming more numerous, and corals are recovering gradually. The sight from a seaplane is gorgeous with the various atolls, sand banks and islands - a surprising constellation drowning in the night-blue ocean that is truly captivating. Do not forget your camera for the flight!

  To bring back

  The Maldivian crafts show a certain taste for art and many objects are exhibited. You can buy some of them in the shops, as well as other things such as wooden sculptures or stone coral. Coral jewellery is also particularly fine. For those who want to bring some sand home with them, do not hesitate, but on reasonable scale, of course!
