Maldives’ Best-Kept Secrets
The Maldives, with its turquoise waters, white sandy beaches, and overwater bungalows, is the epitome of tropical paradise… But beyond the eye, this magical archipelago has secrets that even the most seasoned travellers might not know!
Here are four fascinating secrets of the Maldives that will make you eager to click ‘book now’ on your first Karma Fushi voyage:
The Glowing Beaches of Vaadhoo Island
It sounds like something out of a fairytale, but on Vaadhoo Island in the Maldives, this phenomenon (known as bioluminescence) is caused by microscopic plankton that emit light when disturbed. Stroll along the shore at night, and you’ll feel like you’re stepping into a scene from Avatar, with the sea lighting up under your feet.
The World’s First Underwater Cabinet Meeting
In 2009, the Maldives made headlines by holding the world’s first underwater cabinet meeting. This unique event was a statement about the dangers of climate change and rising sea levels. The Maldivian government, clad in scuba gear, convened six metres beneath the surface to sign a document calling for global cuts in carbon emissions.
The Lost Kingdom of Sunken Ruins
Beneath the clear waters of the Maldives lies a world of sunken ruins that tell tales of ancient civilisations. Divers can explore underwater structures that are believed to be remnants of long-lost temples and settlements.
The Coral Reefs’ Unique Healing Properties
The coral reefs of the Maldives are not just beautiful to look at—they also have unique healing properties. Researchers have found that certain species of coral produce natural sunscreens that protect them from the UV rays of the sun. These compounds are being studied for potential use in human sunscreens and skincare products.
Whether you’re captivated by the glowing beaches, intrigued by underwater ruins, or inspired by innovative environmental actions – The Maldives is an archipelago of wonders waiting to be explored.
