If you have a deep desire to live with a local community and see what their daily life is like without any touristy crowds around, Maalhos Maldives is the ideal place to do so.
Maalhos Maldives island is a small community living in harmony, protecting their pristine island, where large stretches of empty white sand beaches can be savored. The sunsets are mesmerizing, and times get even better when you are having private dinners on a moonlit beach. Fishing with the living corals and eels and seeing the bioluminescent plankton on the shore is an unforgettable experience.
this section will list the top things to do on Maalhos Island in Baa Atoll, among the top Maldives attractions, to truly experience local island life in the Maldives. It will encourage and fulfill you to appreciate the simple living, the culture, the cuisine, and the underwater world.
There are two sides to a coin, and so does the Maldives. On one side are resort islands, where all the fancy resorts are lined on a private island. So you pay, burning a hole in your pocket and experiencing the “luxury” in the form of water sports and walking along beaches without eels, contributing to the occasional waste. Most of this is unsustainable and can be found in other places like Mauritius, Bali, and Seychelles.
And on the other are the Maldives local islands, living a sustainable life, offering authentic Maldivian life experience. It is only here people play on the beach, surf, go to schools, attend festivals, dance to Hindi music, cycle, and enjoy their cuisine.
Living far out in the Indian Ocean is not easy. The locals have their everyday struggles, yet whenever travelers come, they welcome them with open arms and let them into their life with a smile.
