Maldives is undoubtedly one of the most popular beach island getaways on the planet. It is a terrific place to take a vacation and the white sands and crystal clear waters will have visitors feeling relaxed in no time. The archipelago consists of over one thousand islands and while quite a few of them have amazing beaches, they are not found everywhere. One place that has lacked a good beach is the island of Male, but all that changed after the construction of an artificial beach.
Male maybe the capital of a country that is known for its beaches but it has not been blessed with good natural beaches of its own. In fact, until the construction of the artificial beach, the capital city did not have many good swimming spots. However, since the new beach was built the Maldivian capital has lacked for nothing. Now those visiting Male will not only be able to enjoy the city’s various cultural and historical attractions, but also a terrific beach.
Although it is manmade, the beach looks completely natural. The artificial beach was built at a cost of USD 10 million and is situated on the eastern part of the island. Not only is the artificial beach a great place for a swim, one can also try out a number of fun water sports such as surfing. The beach is often used as a venue for celebrations and sporting events and lucky tourists may even get to take part in them.
Those who do not want to exert themselves physically can settle for taking a slow walk around the beach and watching the crowds. The area around the beach is highly developed and one can find a profusion of seafood restaurants serving delicious local cuisine.
Tourists who want to enjoy the best beaches that Maldives has to offer should try one of the resort islands. The Anantara Dhigu Maldives is an excellent Maldives resort that is situated on a private island with a gorgeous beach. Providing luxury accommodation in Maldives, the hotel comes with a plethora of facilities that guests are sure to enjoy.
