Why the Maldives is a Perfect Destination for a Girl’s Trip

The popular dream destination for couples and honeymooners, the Maldives might not be the obvious choice for an exciting girls' trip. Yet consider the enticing elements that appeal to couples. A tropical getaway in a picturesque destination, great spa and beach experiences, delectable food, and chilling in dreamy private villas among many other things. This is exactly why a hen party or a milestone birthday bash with your best girl clique can become something truly memorable in the Maldives.

The villa experience

With every private resort offering unique villas the experience is incredible in the Maldives. Nestled in lush greenery with generous space, most villas can have up to 3 adults while certain villas can take only 2. Imagine the stunning view as you wake up each morning. The different shades of blue during the day are simply glorious and seeing all that water around you is a healing experience as you embrace the magnificent Maldivian sunrise.

Private pools, outdoor sun decks and outdoor showers tempt indulgence. The sleek and elegant interiors with modern fittings provide oodles of privacy and comfort for those escapades of letting your hair down, having heart-to-heart chats and revelling in the company of your besties.

A local city tour

Elevate the girls-only experience by including a Maldives island tour in your plan. Leave the confines of the private resort for half a day to get a feel of the local vibes and pick up some mementoes for this girls-only trip to the destination of honeymooners.

Male Island is ideal for this excursion. It has modern buildings alongside the Grand Mosques dating to the 17th century, the museum and the bustling markets are other interesting visits. It is a profound experience to discover local life almost a world away from the private resorts. For fun-loving girls, this can also be an outing to enjoy a local meal.  Make sure that all of you are dressed modestly with upper arms, shoulders and knees covered as Maldives is an Islamic nation and modesty is expected in dress and conduct in public places.

Pampered by spa routines

Feel like a newer and glowing version of yourselves by being pampered by the spa experiences. With many award-winning spa facilities available your options include Coco Bodu Hithi resort which is a 40-minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport with the award-winning Coco Spa at your convenience.

With many treatment types on its menu including restorative treatments, you will have a whale of a time being pampered at this spa at a captivating over-water location during your stay. Don’t fail to enjoy the jacuzzi, steam room and sauna which are complimentary for guests.

Movie under the stars

Have a memorable night out under the stars as a bunch of girls who love experiences and excitement. The beach cinema that resorts arrange is an unforgettable memory with the soft hum of the waves in the background as you watch your favourite movie under a starlit sky.

Snacks and drinks add colour to this rendezvous as you watch the big screen on comfy beach-bag chairs.

A breathtaking sunset cruise

Have this magnificent on-the-water experience as witnessing the Maldivian Sunset from the water is a unique experience. Doing so with your besties is an epic experience. These cruises are done on traditional Maldivian boats called dhonies. Made from coconut timber the expert boatmen gently guide the dhoni at a slow pace to catch the golden hour. This way you witness the grandeur of the sinking sun as the colours keep changing until it gradually sinks into the ocean in a magnificent blaze.

Although these cruises are arranged for larger groups from the resort regularly, you can have a special one arranged to celebrate the togetherness as a girl clique and capture unforgettable memories of your Maldivian Rendezvous.
