Beautiful Maldives

I am looking forward to this honeymoon trip from last year when I plan for my marriage ceremonial dinner. We brought a return MAS air ticket to Male for around RM1500 per person. Our Maldives trip is a week with 6 nights where I am planning 2 night stay at Male and 4 nights stay at island resort.







Our flight arrival and departure at night where there are none seaplane transfer at night so we have to stay a night on airport island for a night on arrival. Then at 8am the next day, there is a seaplane transfer with Trans Maldivian Air to Reethi Beach Resort at Baa Atoll. The seaplane takes around 35 minutes to Baa Atoll with beautiful view of Maldives Atoll.






Finally we arrives Reethi Beach Resort on our second day at 10:30am and it is really beautiful where the white sand cover the island with blue turquoise water. We have given a room number ‘208’ water villa and we love the room very much too with sea view from the bed. We have a good rest after our arrivals in the evening before we proceed to join the management cocktail organize by the resort management. Then we proceed to Alifan restaurant for our dinner.

The third day of our Maldives trip would be a full day island itinerary where I went for a diving trip and my wife go for a massage therapy. Then we have a relax noon before ending our day with a romantic dinner at Reethi grill.






On the fourth day, I was planning a 2 dive trip with the dive school but there are some miscommunication on timing which I miss the boat but I still manage to go for a house reef dive and then meet my wife and enjoy the rest of our days on our water villa. There is an attraction not to be miss on Reethi beach resort which is the fish feeding and it is pretty amazing to witness huge stingray around the shore.





I had my last dive on the fifth day of our trips to Hura Cave dive site with multi color corals. Then in the afternoon at 3pm we went for an excursion to a near local island for shopping and also sunset. It was a nice trip for a short excursion. We end our dinner at Moondu bar and restaurant for a last night romantic dinner.







Our sixth day at Maldives and final day at Reethi where we were directed to depart at 3:45pm back to Male and we still have a half day to enjoy the water villa. We walk around the island and also enjoy at the sunset bar before fully relaxing at our room. I have try to jump out from our villa for snorkeling but the wave are too strong and visibility are not good too. So I decided to stay at the balcony to watch the sea view.

Then we took the seaplane to transfer back to Male where we took a dhoni from the airport island for a fare price of USD1 to reach Male city. Then another taxi fare from the jetty at Male to reach Dace hotel for about USD2. We had a early dinner and rest early.






The final day of our Maldives trip waiting for our departure flight at night, so we have a whole day for shopping and city sightseeing at Male. We brought some souvenir near the independence square, then visit the Islamic centre and pass the Hukuru Miskiiy. We have a break with drinks at Traders Hotel before ending our trip with a visit to the fish market but it is too late to visit the market at late noon.
