Fulidhoo lately won the award for being the best local island in Maldives for tourists. Obviously that had its reasons and traveling to Fulidhoo suddenly became a popular thing to do. But what is it that makes Fulidhoo such an amazing place to spend your Maldives holiday?
You have seen me hanging out in very luxurious resorts in Maldives, but I have also seen the other side of island hopping in this country. Maldives tourism is booming and not only for luxury travelers. Since a couple years local islands in Maldives are open to tourists and guesthouses are popping up. A trip to the Maldives is no longer just for honeymooners, but how does traveling in Maldives work?
Staying at Kandima Maldives marked already the 10th luxury resort in Maldives I visited. Many people think that all resorts are the same, but that is totally wrong. Kandima only opened its doors to guests less than a year ago so is brand new and is the Kandima concept is completely different than most other resorts, I will explain you why.
Last year I visited Maldives 4 times and every time I flew into this paradise destination I got as excited as a kid. When you see this country from the airplane window you can clearly see why this is a unique place on earth and is topping many travelers’ bucketlist. And now more than ever a trip to Maldives is within reach for everyone!
Since it was my third time in Maldives and I am always struggling with weak and slow Wi-Fi I thought it was finally time to figure out what for tourists is the best sim card in Maldives is. Not all people on a trip to Maldives are staying in fancy resorts, the time that Maldives tourism was exclusively for the rich and famous or honeymooners is over and more and more budget travelers are finding their way to this paradise destination.
You know that feeling when you come home from a holiday and the first couple days your mind is still at that amazing place? Amplify that by 10 and that is how I still feel exactly a month after I left Lux South Ari Atoll Maldives. I have been staying in a lot of fancy hotels & resorts all over the world and every experience seems even more amazing than the previous one, but almost a week on such a paradise island is hard to top.
There are so many 5 star resorts in Maldives that it is hard to choose the right one and I can understand that everyone thinks that all resorts are the same, but nope that is a complete misunderstanding! First of all not all resorts are 5 star, second biggest mistake is that all Maldives resorts have over water bungalows. Then there are the all-inclusive resorts or those that are very exclusive and most people are unable to afford.
Being invited to a conference in the Maldives was to me like winning the jackpot. Yes I want to come speak at your event in paradise but don’t expect me to fly home straight after. I requested my flight out of Maldives 2 weeks later as I wanted to make the most of this trip and stay as long as I could. When people asked me how long I would stay I answered as long as I get free accommodation! ;)
