A hermit crab get-together on the beach at Landaa Giraavaru
It was my sister’s birthday and she decided to throw a bash in Maldives; with six glorious days of indulgence and activities planned for the family.
Maldives has deep blue seas, turquoise reefs, white sandy beaches and palm trees. The seas are rich with marine life.
I fell in love with Maldives at first sight. As I looked down from the window of the seaplane, the sea – with atolls and their islands – looked like silk embellished with beautiful gems.

There’s something mesmerising about the sea that tugs at my heart. I love the sea. I could spend hours just staring with fascination at the great wide expanse. And at night, I like being lulled to sleep by the sound of waves.

Our villas opened to views of the sea and the horizon. Built on stilts and interconnected by wooden walkways, there was marine life around us. It was not unusual to spot surgeon fish and schools of small fish while strolling along the walkway. I was thrilled to spot an eagle ray and what looked like a tuna on one particular day.

With so much to explore and experience, I revelled losing myself in this idyllic place. Meanwhile, enjoy this movie clip, taken by Karen Lee, while I reminisce my Maldivian indulgence. I shall be back with more in my next post.
