You’re going to love it! So beautiful!
When you look at those pictures, thatβs when you know that paradise finally came to earth. Your photography always wakens up so much wanderlust in me!
It’s so good and helpful
Amazing at that reef shark! Were these local islands or part of the private resorts?
We took a cruise that stopped off at uninhabited islands and sand bars in the South Ari Atoll.
Wow! It looks absolutely beautiful. That white sand and turquoise water is something you’ll remember forever. These are some great photos! π
Ok Dave and Lina – you had me at picture number two. It looks like a fantastic spot. Such beautiful photos – would you recommend it for families travelling with kids?
You could easily travel with kids to the Maldives, if your budget allows! It is very expensive there but totally worth it. Glad you enjoyed the photos. π
Yes I want to go to the Maldives. Right this minute. It really looks like paradise and great handstand by the way!
HA! Thanks on the handstand. I was so inspired to take that photo one day that I must have done 50 of them to get the perfect photo! LOL The Maldives are paradise and we will be back.
You’ve sold me! Every time I see pictures of the Maldives I want to hop on a plane and visit π
Same here!! I was just looking at my passport today and came across the Maldives stamps and I looked at Dave and said, “Hey, we need to go back there!” π
Wow, you didn’t lie in the title: I want to go now! π
Lina, wow, the Maldives look amazing. I haven’t visited yet but after seeing your photos I definitely need to plan to visit one day. Thank you for sharing (and making me envious…)
It is one of those destinations in the World that really is worth every penny spent for a visit. We were lucky as we were in SE Asia when we decided to go, so our tickets were less than $200 each to fly there. But being there is expensive, but again totally worth it! I couldn’t take a bad photo, the place is incredible on so many levels.
Amazing photos. The Maldives is definitely on my list π Hope you are having a great trip!
WOW, I do want to go. I will need to check your other posts on the Maldives to start planning π
Sold! As if i needed a reason to go anyway π haha awesome stuff…! The reef sharks are my favourite, reminds me of other island ive been to π
Beautiful white sand! Still haven’t visited yet but would love to get there one day!
