The story

The secret the resorts don't advertise: local islands like Maafushi give you the same turquoise for a third of the price. Guesthouse comfort, a sandbank BBQ, snorkelling with reef sharks and rays, and sunset fishing with the locals.

Your journey outline

Each stage can cover one or more days. Tell us what you would change; your final itinerary is agreed before booking.

  1. Speedboat from Male to Maafushi, around 30–35 minutes. This is an inhabited island rather than a resort, so there are shops, a school and a call to prayer, and the guesthouse costs a fraction of a water villa. The evening is the bikini beach, the designated stretch where swimwear is fine.

  2. A full day out by boat. A sandbank for a barbecue lunch, then a snorkel stop at a reef where nurse sharks gather, which is harmless and startling the first time. Stingrays in the shallows off the beach in the evening, which come in on their own without anyone feeding them.

  3. A reef day: nurse-shark point again if the first go was too short, a turtle reef where greens and hawksbills feed on the grass beds, and sunset fishing with hand lines off the back of the boat. Whatever gets caught is grilled that night, which is either dinner or a story.

  4. Free. Water sports are cheap here, the island is small enough to walk around in an hour, and a resort day pass is available if you want a pool and a cocktail for an afternoon. Most people do one of the three and spend the rest in a hammock.

  5. The speedboat back to Male and the flight home. Four nights in the Maldives at a price that does not require a conversation with a bank, and a reef that is the same reef the resorts are on.
