A first glimpse of your holiday —
Discovery package —
Make your island escape even more unforgettable with the Discovery Package, offering your choice of 3 experiences from a collection of 4 unforgettable excursions, per person, per stay.
Sail into a glowing Maldivian sunset, watch wild dolphins dancing through the waves, snorkel with graceful sea turtles in crystal-clear waters, or discover the authentic charm of a local island. Simply choose the three adventures that inspire you most and experience the Maldives from a whole new perspective.
Option 1: An evening cruise at sunset —
Unwind as the day draws to a close and step aboard a traditional Maldivian dhoni gliding across calm turquoise waters as the sky melts into shades of gold, pink, and violet. Sip a glass of champagne as you watch the sun sink into the Indian Ocean. For the best views, head up to the roof of the boat and take in the sweeping panoramas; if you’re lucky, you may even spot dolphins or manta rays in the distance.
This intimate sunset experience offers more than a view; it’s a sensory moment of the islands’ beauty, where the soft sea breeze, distant seabirds, and the gentle rhythm of the ocean create a feeling of pure calm and connection.
