Utheemu Island, Haa Alif Atoll

Utheemu Ganduvaru is popular as the birthplace of Sultan Mohamed Thakurufaanu. It is located on the Utheemu Island, one of the inhabited islands of the Haa Alif Atoll Thakurfaanu. His brothers are remembered for having fought a war to evict the Portuguese from Maldives for fifteen years. The Utheemu Ganduvaru is essentially the wooden palace in which Sultan Mohamed Thakurufaanu grew up and cherished his life over the years. The palace portrays the lives of the affluent beautifully.





This region has a long history. The kings of the Utheemu Dynasty were all descended from this island. Regents from Utheem also ruled the Maldives from 1573 to 1632 AD, but the legal (though unrecognized) kings of the islands during this period were the exiled Christian Kings of the Maldives residing in Goa, India .Haa Alif Atoll, officially Thiladhunmathi Uthuruburi (North Thiladhunmathi) is the northernmost of the 19 administrative atolls of the Maldives.
 
Geographically, this atoll consists of Ihavandhippolhu, the northernmost geographical atoll of the Maldive archipelago, and the northern section of Thiladhunmathi atoll. This was administratively divided into northern and southern divisions in 1958. The atoll's official name, 'North Thiladhunmathi' is in reference to this division. Today, Haa Alif Atoll contains 43 islands, 14 of which are inhabited and classified as 'island-class' constituencies. The third-largest atoll in the Maldives in terms of population and land area is Haa Alif Atoll.



Haa Alif Atoll, also known as Northern Thiladhunmathi Atoll, is the northernmost island group in the Maldives. While other parts of the Maldives have grown and developed with resorts over the past two decades, however Haa Alif Atoll opened to international tourism only in 2005. But this is a paradise in disguise because the elusive island resorts are modern and particularly luxurious - even by the generally high standards of resorts throughout the Maldives. The region's lush and green tropical scenery is raw and close to nature, with dozens of uninhabited islands and literally hundreds of secluded white coral-sand beaches that can be reached in a short boat ride and provide a escape from reality.



The largest of the four Haa Alif resorts is the Island Hideaway on Dhonakulhi island, a luxury boutique resort that features the only purpose-built marina in the Maldives. It service berths for visiting yachts gives those on board access to the resort facilities. No less than nine different classes of accommodation are available, from private beachside and garden bungalows, to the resort's two "hideway palaces" with each having five individual villas and swimming pools, set in a private forest garden. The Waldorf Astoria Maldives island resort is smaller, but offers an equally luxurious experience. It includes its Grand Water Pavilion, a two-bedroom water villa built out over the coral lagoon. It features comforts such as spa baths, a state-of-the-art entertainment system, and large wooden sun decks built around a private infinity swimming pool, with an uninterrupted view of the open ocean horizon beyond.


Not to be outdone, the boutique J Resort on Alidhoo island offers its Ganduvaru Suite, inspired by the historic palace of Sultan Muhammad Thakurufaanu on nearby Utheem Island. It is furnished extravagantly to befit any modern sovereign. The Zitahli Resort and Spa on Funafaru Island is the newest of the four resorts in Haa Alif Atoll, and perhaps the most elegant and secluded. Many of its five-star beach side and water villas also feature private plunge pools. All of the resorts offer extensive facilities for guests, such as health spas, fitness centers, and tennis courts, special dive schools are also present that offer scuba training and guided tours of the best local dive sites.
Only about a dozen islands in Haa Alif Atoll are inhabited, and most of those have just a few sleepy villages - yet this region is one of the more populated parts of the Maldives. As the northernmost atoll in the Maldives, Haa Alif is the closest to India and Sri Lanka. Traditionally fishermen from these islands would sail to the nearby atoll of Minicoy, to trade and make alliances marriages. Now Minicoy is part of India, and such communication between the islands is severely restricted.
Although Maldivian government policy aims to encourage tourists on the resort islands, it may be possible for the resorts to arrange sightseeing trips to some of the local towns and villages. A key sight is the historic 18th Century mosque at Utheem Island. 





Veligandu Island Beach


Velingandu is a charming island fringed with white beaches and features a huge 80m sandbank. It is one of the most economic destination in maldives. It contains rooms that are attractive and stylish, and nearly all of them are over water. The Jacuzzi Beach Villas are nestled among the trees on the beach. The very smart Jacuzzi Water Villas feature outdoor Jacuzzis and semi-open-air bathrooms. They have steps down into the lagoon for easy swimming directly from the sun deck. Guests are generally on full board, although all-inclusive packages are also possible. The main Dhonveli restaurant in velingandu serves up buffets three times a day, while the à la carte Madivaru restaurant is open in the evenings for a quieter and more romantic dinner.


The island is rightly famous for its great beaches and is located on a beautiful lagoon within Rasdhoo. There are a couple of excellent diving sites nearby, with hammerhead shark sightings very common. The Swiss-run Ocean-Pro dive base charges are pretty economic. The edge of the house reef is not very accessible and is not great for snorkeling, so most diving and snorkeling is done by boat at a wide range of nearby sites. All in all this is among the popular and smart midrange resort with superb beaches and comfortable over-water accommodation.

 The traditionally styled Veligandu Island Resort is surrounded by a lagoon with long stretches of white, sandy beach. Here you can enjoy a choice of dining from the buffet style Dhonveli Restaurant to the Madivaru Restaurant offering a menu of fresh grilled seafood and prime beef. The beautiful Jacuzzi Water Villas and spacious Beach Villas uphold a peaceful and exclusive feel, ideal for couples.


From the moment the seaplane takeoff to Veligandu you know that you are in for a treat. And finally the asatonishing moment arrives when you fly over the breathtaking island that is Maldives. The picturesque soft white beach surrounded by a turquoise lagoon defines the tranquility of Veligandu. The house reef is perfect for snorkeling with the most exquisite marine lives that in­habits the centuries old coral formations.
      You can explore the local island life on excursions or watch the playful dolphins on adventurous cruises. Soothe your senses at our unique over-water spa after an exhilarating day. Veligandu is a holiday experience that is memorable and equally magical in every sense.


The island of Veligandu may be pocket-sized, but it packs in everything you need to have the time of your life. There’s a white-sand beach that wraps around the whole island, a big infinity-edge pool, and a soothing over-water spa.

Rooms sit either beside the sand or on stand over the water through a set of posts, and all the luxurious needs are taken care off like espresso machines, iPod docks and rain showers. Private sundecks come as standard, too.

Huge spreads of around-the-world dishes are laid out at the sand-floored buffet restaurant. Not only this, once a week there’s a Maldivian theme evening with local cuisine and waiters in traditional dress. There’s also an à la carte place with a menu that includes freshly netted seafood.

Lastly, there’s a long list of activities that includes things like kayaking, volleyball and sailing. There’s even a dive centre that’ll take you to some of the atoll’s top sites.

Hukuru Miskiiy, Male

Malé, the capital of the Maldives, is renowned for its beautiful mosques. As Islam is the predominant religion here, the mosques are dotted throughout the city  This tour will enable you to visit some of the most famous landmarks, including Hukuru Miskiiy (Friday Mosque), the oldest mosque in the Maldives, and Grand Friday Mosque, the largest mosque in the Maldives. 
Malé boasts some of the most magnificent architecture in the Maldives. Some of the most beautiful monuments are undoubtedly the mosques, which are of great importance to Maldivians and their Islamic faith.

Our first stop is the historic Hukuru Miskiiy, popularly known as Old Friday Mosque. Built during the reign of Sultan Ibrahim Iskandhar I in 1658, this is the oldest mosque in the country. It has served as the main mosque for the Malé population for almost four centuries until Grand Friday Mosque and the Islamic Centre took over this function in 1984. The building is a fine example of meticulous coral stone architecture, detailed lacquer work and intricate woodcarvings. It is a symbolism of the most prolific pieces of Maldivian artistic expression. The interior and exterior walls of the mosque are beautifully carved with Arabic writings and beautiful decorative designs. The exterior is surrounded by a 17th century graveyard with coral stone tombstones of past sultans and nobles, which are constructed with unique designs in mind and are truly unparalleled in the world.

Friday Mosque has great spiritual significance for the local people. Thousands of people gather here every Friday before lunchtime to pray. This majestic monument is a unique piece of Maldivian heritage and a must-see attraction.

We move onwards to Grand Friday Mosque, which is mostly confused with old Friday Mosque above. Officially named Masjid-al Sultan Mohamed Thakurufaanu-al-A'z'am, this is the largest mosque in the Maldives. Like its name it’s structure is also big and has a spectacular architectural landmark. The mosque’s magnificent golden dome and thin and elegant minaret dominates Malé’s skyline, whilst the interior walls are decorated with beautiful woodcarvings and Arabic calligraphy.
An Islamic Centre is also located here, which serves as a conference hall for official meetings and ceremonies. It has a capacity of holding over five thousand worshipers at a time. There are around 20 different mosques located in Male, but Friday Mosque and Grand Friday Mosque are a honest recommendation to experience the bliss of pure sacredness and divinity.

Sun Island Resort and Spa






Sun Island is located in the magnificent island of Nalaguraidhoo. It is bound to capture your heart with its exotic tropical flowers and beautiful greenery in the gardens that will mesmerize you and transports you to the purest of stunning blue sapphire lagoons. Located 62 miles from the male’ airport, Nalaguraidhoo is the most breathtaking and picturesque island in South Ari Atoll. Sun Island has always been renowned for its beautiful setting.


Sun Island Resort is a huge resort/island hotel in Maldives. It offers you all the modern comforts, conveniences and facilities that you could never imagine. It is a mature island with dense tropical vegetation and tall coconut palms, that you could lose yourself amongst them. With wide beaches of fine white sands all around the island, there would be no difficulty in finding your own private little secluded cove for the day.

         
The Resort features 5 restaurants including Italian, Thai, 24hour A La Carte Coffee shop / Southern Star Grill. The Main Restaurant features good views of the ocean and surroundings, romantic setting, healthy dishes and good wine lists.


Wide range of sports and recreational facilities are availbale with modern equipment and experienced instructors at the resort. These include floodlight tennis, basketball, volleyball, electronic games, squash, indoor badminton, table tennis etc. Amongst the exciting water-sports activities available are scuba diving, wind surfing, catamaran sailing, and canoeing and the list goes on. A large swimming pool measuring 1800 square meters and children’s pool is set amidst exotic landscaping. It extends right to the edge of the lagoon to satisfy all your swimming needs. Towards the end of the pool is a swim-up bar.


The resort is far from the small island ‘settle back and relax’ concept. It’s big and it’s busy. If you are in a mood for party this is the perfect place for you. Yet, because it is a big island, there are different areas with different feels. The small zone around the water sports centre and beach bar is entirely quiet and laid back and perfect for reading a book (if you are that kind).


This resort comprises of 354 rooms and is among the largest resort in the country by some way. Even after so many rooms, it is a very green island with a full circuit of beach and a long list of activities, so you don't see a lot of your fellow guests except at mealtimes and in the evenings.

                          

Water bungalows account for 72 of the rooms (of which 4 are Presidential Suites). These, as usual, are the premium priced rooms and the interiors are designed to experience ultimate royalty. 


Wood floors and wall panels, a recessed ceiling with cornicing, copper, gold and peach striped textiles, work together to give an aristocratic look. A sizeable sun deck is half stone tiles and half weathered wooden boards, with sun loungers and sun chairs. 



Sun Island is unquestionably a friendly place. The relations between staff and guests are warm and easygoing. The staff is extreme hospital and extremely sensitive to the needs of customers, as they definitely have their reputation to take care. The vibe around the swimming pool and main bar is very good, especially in the evening, as it spills out on to beach side decking.

Cruising in Maldives Atoll Explorer



Atoll Explorer: Another way to discover the Maldives


Maldives has recently emerged as the favorite holiday destination for tourists looking for seaside fun. The main features that has helped Maldives to reach such a position is its spectacular scenery and magical blue waters. The Atoll Explorer has also been a medium that has facilitated the development of tourism in Maldives. The Atoll Explorer is something that will help you in visiting all the important places in Maldives in one go. It will enable you to visit from one island to another in no matter of time.

Introduction to the Atoll Explorer: 


Atoll Explorer was the first cruise ship to be launched in the Maldives in 1996. It had just been taken over by a British group which continues to provide the best service to its customers ensuring the luxury needs of the people.

Atoll Explorer is certainly one of the finest cruise ships sailing the Maldives and its routes offer passengers seeking the wild beauty of coral islands. 

The boat itself: 

In 1996, Atoll Explorer was introduced as a new and interesting concept to the tourists of Maldives. It was an instant success, and is still regarded as a prominent attraction to the Maldives over the years. One of the key attractions of the ship is undoubtedly the presence of a PADI-certified dive school. The ship itself is a comfortable haven with well-appointed spaces, robust mechanics to propel the vessel and an experienced staff to take care of guests of the ship.

Accommodation on board:


Atoll Explorer is designed to accommodate 40 people and is equipped with 20 cabins that are classified into three types: Cabins A, B and C. A and B cabins are located on the upper deck. They feature double bed and a balcony. C Cabins have a double bed or two single beds and a large window called "post" which enable a view of the ocean. Telephone, wardrobe, air conditioning, bathroom, shower room and availability of personal items such as beach slippers, beach bags and a wide range of aromatherapy toiletries are also present to meet the needs of the visitors.


Recreational areas on board:




The two bridges on the Atoll Explorer are ideal places to witness the sunny morning and enjoy a cocktail. Sometimes, guests have the chance to see dolphins that swim in the water. The Jacuzzi on the terrace is an ideal place to relax after a day diving, snorkeling or sunbathing on the beach of a deserted island.

In the early evening, the breathtaking sunsets can be admired from both terraces. From the moment the sky darkens thousands of stars twinkle and show how beautiful it is to watch the celestial vault without light pollution. Guests will also enjoy a slideshow of the underwater world and discuss the events of the day with their new friends and companions.

Restaurant and Bar:



A renovation of the restaurant in the upper corner of the boat open space restaurant has allowed the clients to enjoy the scenic beauty of the ocean while enjoying a few drinks before going to a sumptuous buffet comprising of the Asian dishes. The cuisine is varied and offers many specialties of seafood along with good soul feeding music. Nespresso coffee establishment in the restaurant allows you to enjoy perfect coffee. 
Dinner on the last night of the cruise is organized by the ship's captain (Captain Fulhu). A group of musicians would enliven the evening and set the mood for the night.
The bar is modern, stylish and the ambience is relaxed. It is well stocked with wines and spirits. Cocktails created here embody the essence of the Maldives. Mojitos to Bellini through the Singapore Sling and cocktails created more recently, the customer has a wide choice.


Diving opportunities:



Atoll Explorer has a basic PADI diving board and professional Euro-Divers which are happy to guide and educate the amateur diver. The novice divers are always welcomed and the encouraging environment makes it possible to pass the first level of PADI in a few days.

Schedule of dives is designed so that the diving opportunities along the North Ari Atoll and South Ari Atoll are maximized. The two atolls are among the best diving spots in the world and they allow divers to see beautiful creatures, among other sea turtles, sting rays, whale sharks, reef sharks, octopus, moray eels, lobsters and myriad of colorful fish in their natural habitat. 

Cruise schedules:


Atoll Explorer has two cruise schedules aligned to clients interested in visiting the islands of the Maldives and see sites, spectacular beaches and the beautiful underwater world. Vacationers can choose between one of two schedules to meet their vacation needs. Cruises run from Monday to Monday.

1st route:




The first route is based on a plane cruising along the North Ari Atoll and the islands of the region. Atoll Explorer is initially located about fifteen minutes from the airport of Malé.  The customers are greeted at the airport and taken by speedboat to the Atoll Explorer. After a tour of the boat and the installation in the stateroom, the dinner cruise begins. The itinerary of the cruise stops on deserted islands through spectacular lagoons. 

Route 2:



The second cruise around South Ari Atoll offers the same kind of experience as the northern cruise. The program lays emphasis on visiting deserted islands, coral reefs and most recognized Maldives dive spots and a few secret spots that Captain Fulhu would disclose happily to passengers.


Dress Code:


Atoll Explorer is a cruise ship style vacation and guests are invited to let go of their inhibitions .Shorts, T-shirts, swimsuits, wraps, etc. are the order of the day while casual clothes like trousers in cotton or linen, cotton dresses, sandals, etc. are perfect for cool restaurant or beach parties.

Conclusion:




Atoll Explorer has returned to the specific promise to give its customers an unforgettable experience, which includes all-inclusive trips to inhabited and uninhabited islands, dinners on the beach, all onboard meals and beverages, the majority of water sports, snorkeling. The concept has been successful in keeping its promises and it is with great pleasure that I recommend this ship. Customers who bought this cruise are privileged. The invoice is minimal compared to the value for money offered. The staff is efficient and very friendly and makes sure that every guest feel comfortable. I hope more people will get inspired from this blog and look forward to enjoy this amazing journey to Maldives through Atoll explorer.















Paradise snorkeling

Maldives: Paradise snorkeling

Filitheyo Island Resort


There are a few places in the world that enthrall the visitor upon arrival as the Maldives do. Maldives is surrounded by natural beauty which is simply breathtaking. Maldives has the ability to totally mesmerize the visitor by its beauty and perfection.

It is the same for divers or snorkeling lovers. Infact it is a paradise for water lovers, with such a wide variety of life to explore.


                                                                                          Coral reef close to the beach: essential!


The Maldives is the heaven for divers. The underwater scenery is just as spectacular as those above the surface and the richness of the fauna is simply unbelievable. The best way to explore the underwater world of the Maldives is to choose the island. It is very important to make sure to have a "house reef" (house reef) a few flipper strokes from the beach. You will indeed spend a lot of time in the water so it is advisable to take a boat along.

If you have no idea about diving or snorkeling, this is the best time to start. For snorkeling, you do not even need to know how to swim. You will automatically float (clothing a life jacket) above the reef once on site like some of our Asian friends, who do not have the culture of swimming as European, and be floating above the reef. 


Watch out for sunburn!


To begin you do not need complicated equipment. Maldives hotels will lend or lease a mask, snorkel and flippers. Consider wearing a t-shirt special watersports certified UV protection (rather take in a light color, you will have less hot). They dry very quickly and are still more comfortable than a t-shirt in cotton. It costs less than 10 euros in a store like "Decathlon" and believe me you will thank me for having recommended this investment because the sun of Maldives is rather "beefy in tough." Also do be a little extra cautious with the buttocks and thighs, as this is often where the sun attack ... wearing shorts is certainly less sexy, but is highly recommended. If you decide to apply sun cream to protect the skin, please use a lotion that will not damage corals (without chemical filter). It is a bit more expensive than conventional lotions but it is in my opinion a sign of respect towards the corals. We stayed at a hotel, I recently visited under the guidance of a German friend. I had the chance to dive in some of the sights and practice my favorite sport, namely snorkeling.


                                                                                            The wall is clearly visible on this photo


Filitheyo is located in the north Nilandhe atoll. This magical island is surrounded by a fall - a kind of wall - which falls between 35 and 90 meters below the surface. Swimming above the falls is pretty amazing wildlife. It is amazing for us regulars Atlantic and the Mediterranean to see so many colorful fish. The waters in this area are full of turtles, eagle rays, surgeons fish, lionfish, moray eels, parrotfish, triggerfish. With a little luck you will also see a big beast like a shark! 
I already saw some sharks "there are SHARKS"? Uh, yes, the Maldives, there are a lot of sharks around the islands but they are rare, small and harmless. Witnessing a Shark is not a regular scene, it is very rare occurrence and you would probably need a lot of luck on your side. The vast majority are black tip sharks from 80 cm to 1 meter 20 long. It’s a brain mechanism that people have developed after watching Spielberg’s movies, but in reality you’ll take a liking to this kind of meetings.


Lulu the turtle ...


Filitheyo offers a base of highly professional diving instructors supervised by the Werner Lau. Two new French instructors were on the island (Thomas and Bertrand) and they seemed to be pretty happy to advise me. Lovers of scuba diving will discover several of the 30 proposed sites. There is also a recent wreck (2009) located up to 32 meters underwater. Nurse sharks (no it does not bite, they usually sleep at the bottom) and the lines are already benefiting from this refuge.


                                                                                              Class - an advanced diver diving!


I really had great times at Filitheyo water and I do not regret this trip at all. It was a fun experience. I feel more relaxed and chill now. I had to spend some money, but I guess it was worth it. It is advisable to refer to antilogvacations for cheap touring packages and guidance




Kuramathi Island Resort




This blog is all about my last trip to the Maldives. I stayed in kuramathi Island Resort. I was on holidays with my loving wife. Both of us were truly enthusiastic about the holidays.

So it all began at Roissy Charles de Gaulle Terminal 1, the long awaited day has finally arrived. After multiple checks, we are already inside the Airbus A340-600 Qatar Airways Company bound for Malé, the capital of Maldives. The flight interspersed with a brief stop at night in Doha, capital of Qatar. The airport was really comfortable and well air conditioned. The sun rose, and finally allowed us to fly above our first atolls, only this time we were not dreaming.





Ultimately we reached Kuramathi and its arrival pontoon rise majestically before our eyes. A charming hostess greeted us with a smile and led us to the grand reception entirely of wood, in earthy beige. What surprised us was the size of the island! The island is so great that we were led by buggy (golf cart type) to our Water Villa. The door opened into a great room, a refinement unparalleled: flat screen, hi-fi art, mini bar, bathroom design, jacuzzi on the terrace, welcome message on the Great bed. Kuramathi was completely renovated and it was evident  everywhere. One that has been on my find ever since I stepped on Maldives was snorkeling. So not wasting a single minute, I took a wholesome shower, and plunged into the turquoise waters of the lagoon for the first splash on the house reef. I hallucinated that we saw two turtles, a black tip shark and group of fish like triggerfish, surgeons ...


After a good swimming session, we started to explore the island and we ended up discovering a sumptuous hotel immersed in lush vegetation. What was nice about the island was that the owners had left many places completely preserved. So it felt like that we were on an uninhabited island.
There were many types of villas cleverly scattered over the island. They had beautiful and tempting outlook, and passing them without squinting at them was next to impossible.

There were 10 restaurants to choose from including three main restaurants (I recommend the steak






Island BBQ, the server flambe dishes in front of you). In fact, depending on the villa you have booked, the hotel would assign a restaurant for the duration of your stay. If you choose to take the all-inclusive select, you will still have the possibility to book any of the restaurants on the island.

And do not miss

-Water sports available are numerous (windsurfing, sailing, glass bottom boat, canoeing, banana boat, water skiing, catamaran).


-Visit the Spa (relaxation assured, massage is complemented by a warm bath, scented, with a glass of sparkling wine and fresh fruit available.


Here's a quick summary of my experience at Kuramathi Island Resort. We loved it and recommend it as a value for money. It was excellent and a memorable experience, which has definitely increased our standards for the demand for luxury. The Exceptional and hospitable service won our hearts and it was with regret that we left the island.


I hope my blog will inspire you to visit the island for yourself and live a experience worth enjoying in life.
