Maldives: The Sandbank With Nobody On It
A sandbank of your own, Maldives
Highlights
- A private sandbank with no other group booked on it
- Grilled lunch and chilled drinks set up on the sand
- Snorkelling straight off the bank onto reef
- Dolphins on the boat ride out, most mornings
The story
A sandbank is an island that has not committed yet — a bar of white sand a few hundred metres long with nothing on it. No trees, no jetty, no other people.
The boat drops you with a parasol, a cooler and a grilled lunch, and leaves. For four hours the entire horizon is water and the only sound is it arriving. People go quiet out there in a way they do not on a resort beach.
