- The joys of stand-up paddleboarding... quietly glide across the water at your own pace without disturbing colourful fish, rays and even turtles swimming below. Explore hidden coves around the islands that can't be reached by boat – a surprisingly good workout as you balance and steer, and the perfect way to de-stress and reconnect with nature.

- Have you tried our jungle ‘pot tub’? ???? Infused with herbs, flowers and aromatic oils, our traditional Kawa bath at @villapark.maldives relieves every aching muscle and is bound to have you sleeping like a baby. Lie back and relax, listen to the birds twittering and watch gently drifting smoke light up in shafts of sunlight in the trees above you. Let our therapeutic oils slowly work their magic while the slow-burning wood fire beneath your cauldron keeps you at the perfect temperature. Captured by @tramble #VillaPark #VillaResorts
- Did you know the @diveoceanus dive centre at @royalmaldives led the recent reef cleaning initiative in collaboration with Parley Maldives in the Baa Atoll Biosphere Reserve? Experienced divers chose to clear the reef at Eydhafushi Island. At the same time, enthusiastic students of Eydhafushi School Environment Club managed the beach clean-up. The future of the sustainable tourism Maldives is in our children's hands and we admire their efforts. A special thank you to everyone involved. #RoyalIsland #VillaResorts
- Close your eyes and picture the scene: it's an idyllic sunset in the Maldives, the ocean is the perfect temperature. You've discovered a really good book and our bartender is mixing a signature cocktail that he knows you'll love... isn't life good? ✨ Tag the person you'd like to take to @villanautica.maldives Captured by @nikitabathia #VillaNautica #VillaResorts
- Celebrating a special occasion? ???? There is no better place to be than right here, as the coppery sun shimmers on the horizon while you toast yet another magical day in paradise from your private dig-in beach dinner table. Created especially for you at a romantic sunset spot on the island, our team love nothing more than spoiling couples with thoughtful touches... the softest cushions, twinkling lanterns and an unforgettable menu of delicious dishes paired with superb wines - all at your own pace and under a beautiful moonlit sky.

- Swimming with friends ???? Snorkelling with turtles, rays and nurse sharks is a once-in-a-lifetime experience here and the Maldives is one of the best places to swim with these docile creatures. Nurse sharks' whisker-like barbels help them to find crabs, shrimps and other crustaceans. Start your day snorkelling in our tranquil lagoons or head out by boat to nearby reefs.
