The Maldives is not just a destination for honeymooners. It is fast becoming a destination you can visit on your own or explore with a group of friends
Interestingly, The Maldives is a visa-free destination for all nationalities for a maximum of 30 days. Want to stay longer? Then, your tourist visa can be extended for another 60 days at a fee.
The best time to visit the Maldives is during the off-season (May – September) because resorts are cheaper during this period.

Plan a few activities ahead
The Maldives is known as the tropical Paradise. First, you can pamper yourselves and indulge in a spa date, then engage in some water sports, go island hopping, engage in sunset fishing and relax on the beach.
You can take a Boat cruise while you watch the sunset and sip on Champagne and canapés, where you could be lucky to spot dolphins and whales gliding in and out of the beautiful ocean.
Finally, go shopping with your girls to get some souvenirs and don’t forget to take amazing pictures for memories.

Maldives scared me a little because most of the adverts were for couples and I didn’t want to be tensioned 😂😂😂😂.
I’m looking forward going in the future.
You can certainly explore solo.
