]]>Location: The Vaadhoo Island
The Glowing Beach is located on Vaadhoo Island in the Maldives. Much like other Maldives islands, this tropical heaven rocks warm vibes; but it also boasts a beach that lights up like a dream.
Where Does The Glow Come From?
What’s the deal with Vaadhoo Island’s fabulous glow? It’s all thanks to some cool chemistry with bioluminescent plankton. These tiny things turn the beach into a glittering galaxy of stars.
But how come you don’t find this cosmic glow just anywhere in the Maldives? Well, it’s a strategic move by the plankton. When predators roll in, the plankton pulls its glow trick to defend itself. They light up, exposing the invaders to the watchful eyes of other marine life and visitors partaking in water activities.
If you’re a fan of unique beach vacays, the Glowing Beach should really be on your list. Don’t forget to pack a swimsuit.

]]>Skip the Flight and Take a Boat
While many private-island resorts offer the choice of arriving by boat or seaplane, flying by plane is more time-intensive because seaplanes depart from a different airport than most travelers arrive at.
Make it a Family Trip
The Maldives are typically thought of as a couple’s vacation, but many resorts are great for families with kids and teenagers. Some hotels even have themed pools, kids clubs, and island-wide treasure hunts.
Spend Points, Not Dollars
Use the points you’ve been saving up over the past year or so for lush villas or hotel stays instead of using cash.
Splurge
The Maldives has some of the best, most luxurious accommodations in the world, so go ahead and splurge. You’ll find resorts will overwater villas complete with waterslides and underwater bedrooms with see-through domed ceilings perfect for watching marine life.

]]>Best Time to Visit
The best times to visit the Maldives are from November to April. While the island nation is sunny all year round, there is a dry and wet season. This is also the busiest time of year, so hotels are expensive. May to October is the rainy season and it’s popular with surfers because the waves are bigger and the swells are better.
How to Get Around
Walking is the best way to get around the island. Malé, the capital, is about 2.2 square miles, so whichever resort you stay at will be walkable. Island-hopping is possible, but the ferry network isn’t extensive. If you’re traveling by yacht, you’ll have an easier time island-hopping.
Where to Stay
Adaaran Prestige Water Villas All Inclusive
This 5-star hotel located in Raa Atoll is an all-inclusive and there’s a private beach and full-service spa. The water villas with sun decks and private jacuzzies set the hotel apart from other resorts. There are also four amazing restaurants located at the resort.
Anantara Veli Maldives Resort
Anantara Veli Maldives Resort, a 5-star hotel located in Anantara Veli, is one of the few adults-only resorts in the Maldives. The resort has three restaurants, a dive center that offers scuba and surf lessons and diving safaris, an infinity pool, an open-air cinema, and a spa.
Veligandu Island Resort & Spa
Located at Veligandu Island, North Ari Atoll, this 4.5-star resort has a full-service spa and two restaurants, one of which has all-you-can-eat buffet-style meals. There are five different villas to choose between, each of which offers private spaces with premium amenities.
What to Do
Maldives Beach
It wouldn’t be a Maldives vacation if you didn’t get some beach time in and when it comes to beaches, the island nation delivers with white sands and turquoise water. Many resorts have their own private stretches of sand and some even have beaches. While there are public beaches on some of the Maldivian islands, you must be covered because wearing revealing clothing is illegal. There are few beaches where visitors can wear typical bathing suits.
Malé
While Malé is one of the world’s smallest capitals at just 2.2 square miles, it’s filled with attractions including Republic Square, The National Museum, and Sultan Park. Republic Square has the nations’ largest Maldivian flag and is a popular meeting spot among locals and The National Museum has coins, regal objects, jewelry, and thrones. Sultan Park is great for kids and it features playgrounds, greenery, fountains, and sculptures.
Scuba Diving and Snorkeling
The Maldives is known for its clear water and marine life, making it a fantastic spot for scuba diving and snorkeling. Many of the resorts have reefs that visitors can swim to from the beach and some offer snorkeling excursions. Get ready to see tons of fish and sea life while on your water adventures.
What to Eat
Fish
It comes as no surprise that fish is a staple in this island nation. Tuna is the most popular and it can be prepared sundried, cured, smoked, or cooked. It’s also in many of the local dishes like tuna curries, bajiya (a savory pastry), and rihaakuru (a thick brown paste) used to flavor many dishes. Other popular fishes are wahoo, scad, and mahi-mahi.
Curries
When it comes to curries Maldives has ones with fish, chicken, or vegetables. One of the nation’s signature dishes is mas riha which consists of tuna, coconut milk, chilies, and peppers served with rice or flatbread.
Aluvi Boakibaa
This coconut and sweet cassava cake literally melts in your mouth and it’s loved by locals and travelers alike. It’s specially made during Ramadan and its ingredients include coconut, sugar, and jasmine flower water.

]]>Located on its own private island in northern Male Atoll, the Grand Park Kodhipparu Resort in the Maldives is just a twenty-minute boat ride from the airport. It consists of a total of 120 villas, most of them located above the water, while some are located on the beach.
As part of a one of a kind, luxurious offer, this hotel now invites its guests to relax in the “beds” above the water. This offer is a real hit among travelers, which is why people from all over the world come here to relax and have th time of their life.
This time around, you don’t have to walk to get to the beach, because you are already at the beach all day and all night. If you want, you can also have a swim at the private pool and have a drink by the bar.
Still, this might be somewhat of a treat, as only one night at the villas can cost up to 400 dollars per night. But, if it is your honeymoon or you’ve been good this year, this is where you should come and treat yourself.
