Must-Visit Islands in the Maldives

Only a small number of the Maldives' islands are open to visitors, and each offers a different experience. While it's impossible to visit them all in one holiday, these islands deserve a place on your itinerary when booking Maldives Tour Packages from Chennai.

Malé

The capital city is usually the first stop for most visitors. Spend a few hours exploring local markets, cafés, and historical landmarks before heading to your resort.

Maafushi

Maafushi is one of the most popular local islands in the Maldives. It offers guesthouses, water sports, island-hopping tours, and beautiful beaches, making it a favourite among travellers looking for value.

Hulhumalé

Located close to the international airport, Hulhumalé combines modern cafés, beaches, and relaxed waterfront walks. It's a convenient place to spend a night before or after your resort stay.

Vaadhoo Island

Vaadhoo is famous for its glowing shoreline, often called the "Sea of Stars." Under the right conditions, tiny marine organisms create a natural blue glow along the beach after sunset.

Baa Atoll

Recognised as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Baa Atoll is one of the best places to experience colourful coral reefs, manta rays, and rich marine life.

Banana Reef

One of the Maldives' best-known dive sites, Banana Reef attracts snorkellers and scuba divers with its coral formations and tropical fish.

Things to Do in the Maldives 

Our Maldives trip package from Chennai includes much more than relaxing by the beach. You can also enjoy snorkelling, island hopping, sunset cruises, spa treatments, and a range of water sports. 

When Should You Visit the Maldives?

The Maldives can be visited throughout the year, although the weather changes slightly from season to season. 

November to April is the most popular time to visit, thanks to clear skies and calm seas. Booking your Maldives Tour Packages from Chennai during this period is recommended, especially if you want the best choice of resorts.

What to Eat in the Maldives

Seafood is served across the Maldives, with tuna featuring in many traditional dishes. Most resorts also offer Indian, Asian, and international cuisine alongside local specialities. 

Some local dishes worth trying include:

• Mas Huni – A traditional breakfast made with tuna, coconut, onion, and chilli.
• Garudhiya – A light fish soup served with rice, lime, and chilli.
• Fihunu Mas – Grilled fish seasoned with local spices.
• Gulha – Crispy fried dumplings filled with spiced tuna.
• Fresh Tropical Fruits – Mangoes, papayas, coconuts, and other seasonal fruits.

Vegetarian travellers won't have any trouble finding suitable meals. Most resorts offer a wide selection of Indian dishes, fresh salads, pasta, pizzas, continental cuisine, and can also prepare meals for specific dietary requirements when requested in advance.

Shopping in the Maldives

Shopping in the Maldives is centred around local markets, souvenir shops, and resort boutiques, where you'll find handcrafted products, beachwear, and island-inspired keepsakes. 

Popular items to buy include:

• Handmade souvenirs and wooden handicrafts
• Shell and coconut-based decorative items
• Local spices and packaged snacks
• Maldivian sarongs and beachwear
• Jewellery and handmade accessories
• Fridge magnets, postcards, and gift items

For the widest choice, visit local markets and shops in Malé or Hulhumalé. Most resort islands also have small boutiques where you can pick up souvenirs, beach essentials, and gifts, although prices are generally higher than on local islands.

Choose Your Ideal Maldives Stay 

The resort you choose has a big impact on your holiday, so it's worth selecting one that matches your travel style, preferred location, and the experience you're looking for.

What Does a Maldives Holiday from Chennai Cost?
