Everyone dreams of visiting the Maldives, but for most it is generally too expensive! Well, here is your chance to live the dream and to explore the beautiful Maldives for a long weekend! There is nowhere else in the world quite like it, with pristine white beaches, tranquil azure seas and amazing tropical coral reefs.

Based on the island of Maafushi, you will spend 4 days and 3 nights where you can truly experience the best islands in the world! There is no planned itinerary for the trip, just time to enjoy yourself in the sun in the Maldives! 

The Maldives are the perfect place to come and chill out and relax. Spend your days soaking up the sun on the pristine white beaches and having long dinners as the sunsets and time slowly goes by without a worry in the world! 

If relaxing is not your thing then there are plenty of activities our local co-ordinator can organise nearby! Some of the things you could get up to include:

• A half day snorkelling trip where you can snorkel with sea turtles, swim with dolphins and have lunch on an uninhabited island

The Maldives are just an hour’s flight from Sri Lanka and you would be crazy to give up visiting these beautiful islands for a once in a lifetime experience.
