Why the Maldives Is the Perfect Destination for a Girls' Trip—Endless Fun and Beautiful Memories

Looking forward to a girl's trip where you can hang out with the gang, engage in endless sessions of gossip, and have loads of fun? Where you go makes a huge difference to the success of your trip. A winner in every sense is the Maldives where you and your best girls can spend endless lazy days in the sun on those gorgeous sun-kissed white sand beaches. To know why the Maldives is the perfect destination for a girl's trip, check out this article and start planning.

The Maldives Is Not Just for the Romantics

If you thought the Maldives was only for couples, think again. Sure, the islands are utterly romantic and perfect for a honeymoon, but they are also private settings for loads of girly fun and mischief. Think about all those cute outfits you and your friends get to wear as you explore your private island resort where the white sand beaches are lapped by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Imagine your gang chilling as the sun dips beyond the horizon, with your favourite cocktails in hand, and some delicious bites served right there on the beach. Best of all, the Maldives is geared to cater to families and groups, so those surreal over-water villas are not just for couples who want to get away from it all. Maldives villas are designed to accommodate groups of friends ready to leave the rat race and kick back. Think of them as your private island escape to paradise. These sanctuaries are built to help you relax in style, where private pools face the ocean or a lush garden setting with plenty of sun loungers lined along the deck. You can make all the noise you want because these luxurious Maldives pool villas are secluded in private sections of the resort; some popular resorts like Baros Maldives cater to your every whim and fancy with destination dining designed to bring the best seafood right to your villa.

Book a Private Cruise

Even more surreal than your Maldives resort is the private cruises they will organise just for your gang. Choose a sunset cruise and sail into a fiery sky aboard a traditional dhoni; serenade your friendship with plenty of bubbly as the stars come out and let your senses give into the aromas of seafood being prepared just for your party. Cruises offer experiences you will never forget, whales breaching the water, or pods of friendly dolphins putting up an acrobatic show just for you.

Explore the Islands

Book an island hopping tour and explore, swim in private coves, snorkel, and plan picnics. These tours are ideal for learning more about the archipelago while enjoying the gorgeous warm weather and frolicking under sunny skies. Think about partying on sand bars in the middle of the ocean, exploring the verdant interiors of isolated islands, and then travelling to a local island. On the local islands, you can chat with the Maldivians living there, perhaps get invited in for a home-cooked meal, enjoy a few laughs, and learn about the simple yet satisfying lifestyles of the people.

Snorkel Together

All you need are basic swimming skills to go snorkelling in the Maldives. The waters are crystal clear and offer views up to 30 metres in some areas. Most private island resorts in Maldives are surrounded by a house reef, which is teeming with all types of marine life. So, look forward to swimming out to one to explore the beautiful coral formations, spot the cute fish, and maybe even meet a lazy turtle. 

Explore the Capital

Ask your resort in the Maldives about organising a trip to the capital Male. There you can visit the local bazaar and shop for souvenirs, stop for a bite to eat at the local tea kiosks, and enjoy savouring traditional short-eats. Learn more about the nation's history by visiting places like the Old Friday Mosque built in the 16th century and also the national museum where you can learn about the archipelago's beginnings. As evening draws near, hit the restaurants lining the shore and enjoy the amazing selection of seafood.
