Maldives: Slow Water
Next departure 8 – 12 Feb 2027 · 4 spots left
from £1390per person
Reserve your spotThe Maldives without the resort price tag. We stay on a quiet local island, snorkel the house reef before breakfast, take a dhoni out to a sandbank that disappears at high tide, swim with manta rays in season, and shoot long-exposure star trails from the beach. Small group, warm water, very little on the schedule — that is the point.
Main points
Private sandbank picnic
A strip of white sand in open ocean, ours for the afternoon.
Reef before breakfast
Snorkel straight off the beach with turtles and reef sharks.
Manta and whale shark search
A full-day dhoni trip to the cleaning stations (seasonal).
Star trails on the beach
A guided night-photography session — tripods provided.
Local island, real food
Home-cooked Maldivian meals instead of a resort buffet.
