The Wonder that is Shaviyani Maldives

If you’re looking for an escape from the mundane, everyday life, Shaviyani Maldives is the perfect destination. With crystal clear waters, pristine beaches and a laid-back island vibe, it is a paradise on earth. Located in the northern atolls of the Maldives, the island is secluded, yet accessible by a direct domestic flight from the capital city. As the co-founder and owner of Shaviyani Maldives, I’ve put together the ultimate guide to help you experience the best of our beautiful island.

Where to Stay

Shaviyani Maldives is home to some of the most luxurious resorts in the Maldives. Whether you’re looking for an overwater villa or a beachfront bungalow, there’s something for everyone. From the elegant Soneva Jani to the tranquil Milaidhoo Island Maldives, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

If you’re looking for a more affordable option, there are guesthouses and budget hotels on the island, which offer a comfortable stay and still give you access to all the beauty and serenity the island has to offer.

What to Do

When it comes to activities, Shaviyani Maldives has a lot to offer. Snorkeling and diving are the most popular activities, allowing you to explore the rich marine life and stunning coral reefs. If you prefer to stay on land, you can go on island hopping tours and explore the local villages, experience Maldivian culture and cuisine, and even go dolphin watching at sunset.

For those looking for a more adventurous experience, you can try your hand at jet skiing, parasailing, or kiteboarding. If you’re a thrill-seeker, don’t forget to try the Seabob, which is essentially an underwater jetski. It’s a unique experience that you won’t find anywhere else.

Where to Eat

Shaviyani Maldives has a range of dining options, from fine dining to street food. The resorts have a variety of restaurants, offering a range of international and local cuisines. If you’re looking for something more authentic, you can explore the local cafes and street food stalls, where you can sample some delicious Maldivian street food like masroshi and hedhikaa.

For those who want to try Maldivian cuisine, I recommend trying the traditional Maldivian breakfast, which typically consists of mas huni and roshi. Mas huni is a blend of tuna, coconut, and onion, and roshi is a type of flatbread. It’s a delicious and filling breakfast that will give you an insight into Maldivian cuisine.
