Walk into our hotel and enjoy a refreshing, rejuvenating day-off filled with adventure activities in Maldives. Here’s how you can make the most of your stay.

Adventure Activities Maldives at Sabba Beach Hotels

The locals on Fodhdhoo Island are occupied with their daily routines. You don't see them much during the day because the men go fishing, women are mostly busy with children and household chores, and kids attend school. Five times a day, everyone goes for prayer in the mosque. Moreover, some are busy building ships, while others enjoy the day at a leisurely pace. Once the heat subsides in the evening, parents dress up their kids and go for a walk together to watch the sunset. Meanwhile, the younger generation engages in outdoor games like volleyball or football. The locals are very friendly and enjoy the company of visitors. They often invite foreigners to play with them and may even invite you for tea or coffee in their homes. These interactions enhance your adventure activities in Maldives, providing cultural enrichment alongside leisure.

Cultural Experiences During Your Adventure in Maldives

At Sabba Beach Hotels, you will experience and learn the art of true Maldivian cuisine, using the oldest recipes of national traditional dishes. You can also order local treats called "short eats" one day in advance and enjoy them with tea in the afternoon. This culinary journey is an integral part of your adventure activities Maldives.

Fishing Excursions: A Must-Try Adventure Activity in Maldives

Fishing is one of the most favorite excursions—not only for men but for women and children too. Interestingly, women are sometimes luckier! There are three types of fishing available at different times of the day. Your catch will be grilled on coconut coals for you straight after returning to the island. For instance, a fishing trip and fish preparation will cost you $30 per person. Children join our excursions for free if their parents are participating. In comparison, resorts charge around $70-85 per person, plus 50% for each child, and your fish will only be cooked the next day after the trip. Additionally, you would need to pay extra for preparation. Big Game Fishing is also possible at Sabba Beach Hotels, adding to the diverse adventure activities in Maldives you can enjoy with us.

Sand Bank Adventures: A Highlight of Adventure Activities Maldives

A sandbank is a sandy island without palms and greenery. Sometimes you can see it during the day, and at night it disappears under the Indian Ocean. The sandbank is located not far from our island. We offer combined trips there, where guests can also try different snorkeling locations. It is also possible to have a picnic with some snacks and drinks under the umbrella. This is one of the serene yet exciting adventure activities Maldives offers.

Lobster Hunting: Unique Adventure Activities in Maldives

No resort in the Maldives will offer you this unique experience! Night lobster hunting is a favorite fun activity for men at our house reef during nighttime, while octopus hunting is available during the day. You have a great opportunity to try something very different in your life. After the hunt, your lobster will be cooked for you on coconut coals, and the octopus will be prepared using a famous Maldivian recipe. This is definitely on your "must-do" list during your adventure activities in Maldives.

One Full Day in Sun Siyam Irufushi 5* Resort & Spa!

While we do not provide alcohol on our island, our guests have found this to be a non-issue. For those who would like to enjoy an outing with lunch and some wine or beer, we arrange a boat visit to the former Hilton Sun Siyam Irufushi 5*. It's not very far from us, and there are more than 10 restaurants and bars. This is a great opportunity to experience both local life and resort luxury. Usually, guests tell us, "Well…it was nice there, but we already miss our island."

Please see the excursion price list for what the resort offers and prices.

Wildlife on the Island During Your Adventure Activities Maldives

On our island, you'll encounter friendly creatures that add charm to your stay. There's an iguana and a rabbit living on the hotel grounds. You might see flying fruit bats (not dangerous), and there are some crabs—kids love to chase them on the beach with torches in the evening, resulting in much laughter and fun. Small geckos, little island chickens roaming around, and the "makana" (Maldivian heron) are also part of the island's fauna.

Rest assured, there are no dangerous animals on the island, and there are no dangerous sharks in the Maldives. Observing and interacting with these creatures can be a delightful part of your adventure activities Maldives.
