I would like to share with you my impressions of a trip to the magical land of dreams - the Maldives.

We have heard about the fact that these are paradise islands for a long time, but it was only recently that we were able to personally verify it.


My husband is a real romantic, he made me a surprise on February 14, I can’t help but share how it happened) At the beginning of the month, I got a call from our agency, where we take tours, they asked me to stop by to pick up some kind of surprise from them, supposedly we are like regular customers have something to gain. If some third-party organization called me with such an offer, I’d go, we know such divorces, but here my relatives, of course, I was very surprised, but I decided to stop by after work, anyway, on the way. We agreed on the time, I arrive, I see my beloved in the office with a bouquet of roses, and the girls are sitting smiling, I sat down opposite him, I sit, I don’t understand anything, and then Ksenia solemnly hands me a piece of paper with the words, congratulations, a trip to Paradise awaits you!

It turns out that my boyfriend booked us a trip to the Maldives, and in 10 days we were supposed to fly out!! ! I don’t know how to describe my condition, it was incredibly cute, right up to tears))

Sorry for such details, I really wanted to share. Now only on business.

Flying cathars, lo and behold, finally from St. Petersburg!!!! ! Just one change in Doha (usually, we have been there more than once) and we are in the Maldives! I want to note that new airbuses fly from Doha to Male, the most pleasant thing is that they are half empty! There are several rows for each person)) And a business class is not needed. For 5 hours we had a delicious meal (the food, by the way, is better than St. Petersburg - Doha and the flight attendants are friendlier), drank liquor and slept before landing.

On the approach to Male, stunning views of the islands opened up from our windows, we were so impressed! We flew in, got to the hotel by boat, about 30 minutes, we were met, given the keys and escorted to the villa, we walked and admired the territory, as if we were being led through the jungle, everything was done in an original way, a lot of greenery and cocoons hanging over our heads, woven plants, birds sing, parrots, small birds on long legs run around, but while walking along the bridge from the pier, we saw stingrays, sharks and many other different sizes and colors of fish in the water)

Wine and fruits were waiting for us in the room) You can choose the type of pillows for the night)


The rooms are very good, on the one hand there is access to a closed courtyard with its own pool, on the other hand access to the beach, but not just access to the beach, we also had a private house on stilts over the water, it's amazing, it feels like you are in a water villa! ! The view is breathtaking! We ate fruits there, drank wine, champagne, romance... and most importantly, no one around, it seemed that the neighbors were in houses nearby, but they constantly disappeared somewhere, and we felt like we were on a desert island, we experienced such a feeling for the first time, very interesting and not comparable with the anthill in the Dominican Republic, Cuba, I'm not talking about Thailand.

The staff is trying, everyone is polite, caring, we had a problem in the room, there were insects in the bath, a lot of ants, it was terrible, I'm generally afraid of insects, and then the guard! We called the reception, ran in, processed everything, and we didn’t see them (ants) anymore.

Food for every taste. For breakfast, champagne, jamon, cheeses, omelettes, freshly squeezed juices, cereals, yogurts, cereals, sweet buns. Lunch fish, meat (all this is cooked in front of you at the right roast, I advise you to say super val dan, since they just have val dan raw inside anyway) pasta with any toppings, cooked in front of you, desserts are very tasty, ice cream and sorbets, the only thing is not enough species (two), seafood was also.

Here is an assortment for freshly squeezed juices

Dinner on the menu, not always everything is successful, but in general, we never left tasty and hungry.

Regarding the beach, we had reefs

we walked a couple of minutes to the right and there is already an unreal beauty lagoon, shimmering with all the shades of the ocean, a wide beach strip, fine sand, an excellent entrance and good depth, you don’t want to get out of the water at all!

In the evenings, live music, hookah, romantic walks around the island, you can also go to the neighboring island, there is Angsan's brother hotel, we somehow had breakfast there, but we liked our restaurant more. And the beach at Banyan is much more beautiful.

Vacation flew by unnoticed, despite the fact that, as they say, there is nothing to do in the Maldives, our days were full of relaxation, spa, took a sunset cruise already 2 times, I really liked it, contemplation of natural beauty, everything is so harmonious there. The brain is disconnected from routine, work, all worldly essentials.

Such an unusual journey will forever remain in the heart!

Maybe I didn’t cover everything, write, I will answer as far as possible.
