Maldives Island Hopping and Water Villa Stay
Spend five days between Maafushi, Gulhi Island and a private island resort in the Maldives. The programme combines time on the beach, shared speed boat transfers, a half-day island hopping excursion and a stay in an overwater villa. After arrival in Malé, the pace is relaxed on Maafushi, with time for the beach and the sea. A half-day boat outing takes you to several spots for snorkelling and marine life viewing, with the chance to see dolphins, turtles, manta rays and sharks. The final part of the trip moves to a private island resort for three nights in a water villa. This section is designed for a quieter stay, with the villa set above the lagoon and access to the surrounding marine environment. The trip includes breakfast, several dinners and selected transfers. Some activities and services are optional or not included, so the package works well for travellers who want a balance of planned time and flexibility.
