Monday 22nd of March 2021

99% of the Maldives is made up of water. Yes, you read that right. We are surrounded by the majestic Indian ocean that leads up to a topaz-colored crystal-clear lagoon surrounding every single island in the chain of this archipelago. The breathtaking scenery has more to it than just the looks, it is the the biggest and the best natural playground one can ever ask for!

So, when you are on your well-deserved escape in the Maldives, choose a Cinnamon resort at which you can indulge in any one of the below adventures and recharge like Aquaman.

Snorkelling the Lagoons

The one water sport you can do without any restriction when in the Maldives is snorkelling. Just grab a snorkel and fins and head out to the beach, and the shimmering lagoon will do its magic.

Fishing the Big Game way!
