A pearl-like string of island atolls on top of a vast submarine mountain range in the Indian Ocean forms the smallest Asian nation, the Maldives. Blessed all year round with a tropical climate and average temperatures of 30° Celsius, this stunning destination is the ideal place to indulge in restful vacations, or exhilarating adventures.
Located in South Male atoll, Jumeirah Vittaveli is a luxury resort within easy reach. Here you’ll discover vast stretches of white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. You can explore the resort’s stunning house reef from the comfort of a semi-submarine, or dive into the warm waters of the Indian Ocean to discover a whole other world of sunken shipwrecks and exotic sea creatures.
The semi-submersible vessel takes excursions along the resort’s house reef several times a day. A night-excursion is available as well to explore the unique night-time wonders around Jumeirah Vittaveli. As opposed to a snorkelling excursion, the guide will be able to point out marine creatures to all attending guests and explain their characteristics. After dark, guests can admire the entirely different underwater world that unfolds when the sun sets. They might see minuscule polyps on the coral reefs come to life and feed on surrounding plankton, or be able to observe eels, stingrays and sharks.
