About this trip
Seven days aboard a traditional dhoni, moving between islands in the Maldives with time built in for not much more than sun, sand and swimming.
The water is the main event here — clear lagoons for lounging and coral reefs for snorkelling, with the boat itself doubling as your base and your transport between spots.
It's a small-group trip built around slowing down rather than ticking off sights, spent mostly on deck, in the water, or on a beach.
