Robinson Crusoe Style Holiday in the Maldives

The Maldives are one of the best places for a Robinson Crusoe-style holiday. Here you can visit an uninhabited island, or you can rent an island resort. A more budget-friendly option would be to visit a local island, where you can also find a corner for privacy - there will be only you and nature. We will tell you about all the nuances below.

Weather and nature of the islands

The Maldives fit perfectly into the picture of the famous novel. Most of the islands can be literally walked around in a day, or even an hour. The air and water temperature fluctuates between +28 and +32 degrees Celsius all year round. Whatever season you choose, a swimsuit and a T-shirt with shorts will be enough. At the same time, be prepared for the sun - it is easy to get sunburned under the Maldivian sun.

Despite such a small difference in degrees between winter and summer, the Maldives still has two main seasons:

1. High season (from late December to March) - at this time the islands have minimal rainfall and winds. The probability of getting caught in the rain is very low. This time is especially popular among those who come to the Maldives for snorkeling and diving. The water in the lagoons is perfectly clear.
2. Low season or rainy season (from April to early December) - this is the period when most precipitation occurs, winds blow - waves bring plankton and visibility under water deteriorates, although this does not bother diving enthusiasts at all. Visibility is still good enough to examine the underwater world of the Maldives in detail. It is worth mentioning the rains separately, as they can really be heavy, but, as a rule, short-lived and after them the sun immediately appears.

The nature of the Maldives is hard to compare with: turquoise lagoons, snow-white coral beaches and lush green palm trees. Walking here is a pleasure. However, most tourists still fly to the islands for the colorful underwater kingdom. Snorkeling in the Maldives is one of the best in the world. At least once in a lifetime it is worth seeing such a riot of colors and shapes.

Robinson's Holidays on the Island Resorts

The most popular holiday destination in the Maldives is the island resorts, which operate on the principle of "one island - one hotel". These are small islands that you can walk around in just a couple of hours. Of course, it is difficult to compare the life of Robinson Crusoe with a holiday at a resort, because our hero did not have 5 meals a day, a pillow menu and a butler ready to fulfill any whim.

However, many hotels organize vacations in the style of Robinson Crusoe - a kind of light version. Below is a selection of the most interesting hotels and their offers:

• Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu offers a modern bungalow experience disguised as a hut. Inside, the finest amenities for your comfort, surrounded by sandbanks, a lagoon and palm trees, you will be provided with a corner where there will be no one else.
• Soneva Fushi is a luxurious hotel. In fact, one of the most expensive in the world. However, it is here that, upon request, you can set up camp on the sandbank and relax in a tent, catch fish and cook it on a fire. Why not! Any of your whims.
• Finolhu Baa Atoll Maldives is another luxury resort with an unusual, futuristic offer for those who want to relax in the style of Robinson Crusoe. On the beach spit of the resort there is a Beach Bubble Tent - a transparent tent in the shape of a ball. It has a bed and some other furniture. At night you can watch the sky, strewn with stars. It is so romantic. Robinson himself would be jealous.
• The Sun Siyam chain in the Maldives is five beautiful hotels located in different places, but each will offer you a few hours of rest on the private sand spit Loabi Fushi. You will have a romantic date on a coral beach, and around the turquoise lagoon. You will also be provided with comfortable sun loungers, umbrellas, snacks and other attributes of a romantic pastime. Choose a holiday in one of the Siyam hotels:  , Sun Siyam Vilu Reef , Sun Siyam Olhuveli Maldives , Sun Siyam Iru Veli Maldives , Siyam World .

Almost every resort can offer you a Robinson Crusoe-style vacation. It will be a light version, as we described above, or a real adventure on a desert island, where you will be taken by hotel representatives. Some even organize an overnight stay in tents, leaving only the bare necessities for "survival". Of course, we are not talking about wild conditions. Everything is organized in the safest places, however, you will have an idea of what it is like to be on a desert island. By the way, there are more than 1000 islands in the Maldives and most of them are uninhabited, so you will have a huge choice for an adventure.

Robinson's vacation on local islands

The local islands of the Maldives, unlike the resort islands, are inhabited by locals. Hotels and guesthouses here are not as luxurious, but also cheaper. Budget tourists flock here.

Residential islands can be much larger than private ones and reach several kilometers in length. In such places, you can also find a secluded corner and relax with a tent. Quite a few hotels offer this service. For example, Omadhoo Inn on the island of the same name, on the South Ari Atoll (or as the locals say, Aliv Dhaal). It is about 65 kilometers from the capital of the Maldives, the island and city of Male . The island is small, original - here you will learn how the local population lives, learn to fish and try the food that the Maldivians eat every day. Omadhoo Inn has standard rooms for tourists, but they also organize rest in a tent on the shore. What an adventure in the style of Robinson Crusoe!

Many hotels and guesthouses on the local islands of the Maldives will be able to find interesting offers for you for a Robinson-style holiday. Before booking, ask the manager if this option is available at the hotel you like.
