After spending seven days in the Maldives, my spending habits have completely changed

The Maldives, that dreamy island paradise that captivates the imagination! 🏖️ Blue skies, white clouds, crystal waters, and silver sands—truly a heavenly place on earth! If you're also dreaming of experiencing that serenity and beauty, check out these must-visit spots that will make your Maldives trip unforgettable! 🏝️ Must-Visit Spots: 1. Malé City: As the capital of the Maldives, it's full of local flavor and culture. Explore the markets, taste the cuisine, and enjoy a unique experience. 2. Huvafen Fushi: The underwater restaurant is incredibly cool! Enjoy delicious food while watching colorful fish swim by—it doesn't get more romantic than that! 3. Dhigurah Island: Water villas are the highlight here. Staying in one feels like floating on the sea, and waking up to breathtaking ocean views is simply wonderful! 4. Grand Central Island: The infinity pool is a photographer's paradise. Standing there feels like becoming one with the ocean—perfect for stunning photos! 5. Fairy Coral Island: The beaches here are soft and fine, with crystal-clear waters. You can see beautiful corals and fish just by snorkeling—amazing! 6. Vaadhoo Island: The seaplane landing spot is incredibly cool. Planes fly in directly over the sea and land by the water's edge, just like a scene from a movie! 7. Alidhoo Island: The sunsets here are absolutely gorgeous! Sitting on the beach watching the sun slowly sink into the horizon creates a peaceful, beautiful moment that captivates the heart. 8. Lily Island: The water villas on Lily Island are the epitome of luxury. Each villa has its own private pool and ocean-view terrace, offering ultimate privacy and tranquility. 🍤 Food Recommendations: • Seafood Feast: Various fresh seafood including lobster, crab, and grouper with tender meat and delicious flavor—a paradise for seafood lovers! • Coconut Rice: Rice served in coconut shells with a subtle coconut aroma and soft texture—absolutely delicious! • Curry Crab: Maldivian curry crab has a unique taste with rich curry flavors and juicy crab meat that leaves you wanting more! • Grilled Fish: Fresh fish grilled to perfection with a crispy exterior and tender inside, seasoned with local spices—simply delicious! • Coconut Water: Water drunk directly from coconuts is sweet and refreshing, the perfect summer beverage! • Maldivian Rafhee: A local specialty drink made from coconut milk, mango, and ice, with a sweet and smooth taste—very refreshing! • Banana Boat: Fried bananas served with ice cream and chocolate sauce, crispy outside and soft inside, sweet but not cloying—a dessert lover's favorite! 🛫 Transportation: To reach the Maldives, you typically fly to Malé International Airport, then transfer to your island by seaplane or speedboat. 🏡 Accommodation: Both water villas and beach houses in the Maldives are unique. Choose based on your preference. Staying in a water villa feels like floating on the sea—an amazing experience! 💡 Tips: • The Maldivian sun is very strong, so remember to bring sunscreen and sunglasses! 🌞 • During water activities, pay attention to safety and follow your instructor's guidance. 🌊 • Respect local culture and customs. When in Rome, do as the Romans do—this helps you better integrate into local life. 🙏
