Densely vegetated Islands
with picturesque beaches and surrounded by turquoise blue water lagoons –
that’s the picture which comes to mind when I think about Maldives. Paradise –
the first thought that came to mind on hearing Maldives, and when I further
realized that I would be spending my birthday
on the largest island resort in the Maldives, I was literally transcended into
an ecstatic state of mind. This is how 2017 started for me, with a month long
trip to Sun Island Resort and Spa –
Maldives, from mid Jan to mid Feb.
The moment I stepped out
of Velana International Airport, I
was greeted with soothing views of coconut trees lined up along the road,
ferries docked up on the jetty and pristine blue waters everywhere. As my
connecting flight to the resort was a couple of hours later, I immediately put
my luggage in the cloak room, exchanged some USD for the local currency,
Maldivian Rufiyaa and got on the ferry to Male.
