We spent a week in the Maldives and it was an amazing trip. They have done a great job with the tourism industry in the Maldives and I can’t wait to go back!!!
The islands are amazing and the aquatic wildlife is everywhere. You just can’t go wrong with visiting the Maldives.

The local food in the Maldives is really good and mostly tuna fish 🐟based. Amazing and totally delicious.

One of the staff at Bandos told me that if the dish below called Garudhiya is cooked further for a longer period of time it turns into another dish known as Rihaakuru.
