Maldives Off the Beaten Track
Discover the real Maldives, away from the resorts on a local island where you can experience day-to-day life in comfort.
Visit the quiet island of Villimale, just a short boat ride from the capital, Male. Explore the pastel coloured local houses and everyday life on your guided tour. From seeing Maldivians come together to enjoy BBQ dinners on the beach, to meeting families relaxing on their wooden hammocks just outside their homes under the shade frangipani trees, to seeing the big fishing boats the local men use on the waters – it’s a fantastic way to get an understanding of the way of life.
You can include this experience as part of an Experience Travel Group holiday designed exclusively for you.
