They're either traveling or on their way to travel.

It's been a while since I returned from the Maldives, but I still miss it. It's not a specific place I miss, but the feeling of sunbathing, diving, and running freely on the beach… Before going, I struggled for a long time between Joali Being and Jumeirah Island. Considering the limited time and that Being's decor and therapeutic image were more suitable for a young, laid-back lifestyle, I only went to Being. However, later, while chasing dolphins, I met a sophisticated white female influencer who strongly recommended we try Jumeirah Island, so I added it to my list too! 🏖️We chose a two-beach-pool and two-overwater suite: beach villas and Grand Ocean Pool Villas. The beach villas were more comfortable, and the overwater villas were better for photos. If you're looking for value for money, choosing a four-night stay in an overwater bungalow is the best option. You can directly snorkel through the floor-to-ceiling windows 🤿, and if you're lucky, you might even spot a small shark 🦈. 🍜 Let's talk about the food. Overall, the three restaurants at Being exceeded my expectations. I especially want to commend Flow's Maldivian breakfast (I think that's what it's called 🤦🏻‍♀️). MOJO has special menus for various Chinese holidays, but definitely don't try them!! They're expensive and terrible. 🎡 The most recommended activities are dolphin watching 🐬 and turtle snorkeling 🐢. They offer the best value for money of all the activities. The baby dolphins are incredibly intelligent; they'll swim alongside the boat and, thinking humans are playing with them, will jump out of the water. The return trip coincides with sunset, offering a beautiful sunset and afterglow 🌄. The turtle snorkeling is also very fulfilling, not just a quick look around. The dive guides are very diligent in helping us find turtles and Nemo (the dolphin), and constantly monitor everyone in the group, ensuring absolute safety! 💆I don't recommend the spas on the island! I spent 350 baht on a basic spa treatment since I was already there, but in my opinion, it wasn't as good as a street massage in Thailand. Already looking forward to my next trip! 🧚🏻‍♀️
