Upon arrival at Malé International Airport, we went to our hotel via speedboat. We also explored around the resort’s facilities.
We then went for our most favorite place for Snorkeling Excursion. Most resorts offer guided snorkeling trips to nearby coral reefs. You may check with the hotel or resort in advance. For our case, we pay $50 per person. We also visited Malé. If you're staying near Malé, I would definitely recommend you to take a half-day trip to the capital. You can visit places like, Hukuru Miskiy (Old Friday Mosque), Sultan Park and Malé Fish Market.
We also spent lots of time to relax on the Beach, enjoying the pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters. Just to recommend some of my favorite restaurants 🏖️ 
One of my most favorite restaurant will be The Lighthouse Restaurant, Baros Maldives. They served very very fresh seafood. It offered a romantic dining with views over the lagoon We had very good experience and really enjoyed the food and view. Do try out their seafood chowder which I think it’s the best 🥰🥰🥰
💰 $150-250
I would also recommend you Reef Club, One&Only Reethi Rah. They served mainly Italian food. We tried the seafood and also Wood-fired pizzas which was recommended by the staff. It was really delicious, and the pizza was very crispy.
💰 $50-70 per person.
Aside from snorkeling, we also spent some time for Scuba Diving. The Maldives is famous for its world-class dive sites. You can also check out for 
Banana Reef, Fish Head. I think the price is reasonable. All the staffs were really nice and professional. 
💰 They charge about $100-150 per dive (including gear)
We also explored activities like Jet Skiing, Parasailing 🪂 Kayaking. 
💰Normally it costs around $50-100 per activity.
After all the hectic activities, we also spent time to explore the Sunset Dolphin Cruise🚢 A relaxing way to end our trip. 
Overall, the trip was very relaxing. We really enjoy it and hope to come back again soon. 
   
Last but not least, if you’re a big fan of Yoga like me, definitely try out their Sunrise Yoga. Where you get to experience yoga session on the beach.
💰$20-50
