How to make the most of your business trip to the Maldives

So you find yourself in the Maldives on work and importantly, with plenty of time on your hands to devote to yourself and your personal whims. Wondering what to do and how to enhance your time in these paradisiacal surroundings? Then do have a look at how you can make the most of your business trip by considering any of the following, if not all of the activities described below.

Catch the latest blockbuster sequel at Athena Cinema

Male’s Haveeree Hingun region comes across as a busy district teeming with plenty to do and see as you ponder on how best to while away the remaining hours of the day after having sat through meetings and whatnot. A favourite in these parts is the acclaimed Athena Cinema which is styled and designed in a way to entice and enthral the visitor. Be it Maldivian, or Bollywood to the biggest names that continue to dazzle Hollywood, time spent within these four walls will be well worth it and importantly, the perfect way to get away from it all and treat yourself on your own terms.

Set foot inside the Jazz Bar

Once again, the nation’s capital of Male would be your ‘go-to’ in this regard and for those seeking to kick back and set their sights on the weekend, then look no further than the Jazz Bar. Luxuriously appointed and nestled within the bustle of the city with ease of access to the harbour, business travellers can look forward to a time of popular jazz sounds which are well complemented by an array of food and beverages. For instance, order your favourite type of coffee but not before pouring over the Bar’s menu which features a spread of international fare to tuck into. What’s more? You may begin living life to the fullest to the soothing vistas of the harbour and the shimmering islands out afar even as you contemplate your next move.

Check out the water sports

Even if you have chosen one of the luxury meeting venues provided at Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas as your base for business, this should not in any way hinder your future paths that can easily take on grander proportions. One of the chief highlights of holidaying in the Maldives is its range of water sporting activities that can be availed of. Thus, what’s stopping you from including some time out on the sea to learn a new hobby or perfect a childhood passion? From surfing, jet skiing, snorkelling, scuba diving and even parasailing and kayaking; the variety would appear endless and quite literally, engaging! More often than not, your mode of accommodation will come to your assistance in this regard but before landing in the Maldives, be sure that you have researched thoroughly and have posed all the right questions as personal preferences may not always be met at all resorts or hotel properties. Further, the inspiration you receive from challenging yourself within the unfamiliar territory will surely trickle through and in turn, have you performing at your very best again as deadlines loom and routines begin to take shape.

Pamper your complete self

The Maldives is a world of indulgences and one of the most sought-after ways to treat yourself while being well away from meetings and workstations is to schedule a spa session. Imagine being massaged in sweet-smelling oils as you take in sweeping views of dancing waves and palm-fringed beaches. From herbal baths, and Ayurvedic treatment to many a form of therapeutic healing for which these isles are well known, one’s time here is sure to go off well as you ready yourself for the days ahead.
