The Maldives, Asia (2023)

Just arrived at the boardwalk leading to our overwater villa in the Holiday Inn resort on the South Male atoll of Kandooma Fushi in the Maldives. A whole week of paradise to look forward to.

Our first breakfast in paradise overlooking the pool area in the Holiday Inn resort on the South Male atoll of Kandooma Fushi in the Maldives. We actually ended up never using the pools as the lagoon at our overwater villa was way better.

Part of our package in the Holiday Inn resort on the South Male atoll of Kandooma Fushi in the Maldives was an Indian Ocean sunset cruise. Sitting on a lovely small boat sailing into the sunset was a very nice experience.

While staying in the Holiday Inn resort on the South Male atoll of Kandooma Fushi in the Maldives, we went on an Indian Ocean sunset cruise. Even though the sky was not all clear the awesome cloud formations made up for it. Here we were passing the small resort island of Biyadhoo.

A bluefin trevally and a Red Sea goatfish as seen from the balcony of the overwater villa we were staying in at the Holiday Inn resort on the South Male atoll of Kandooma Fushi in the Maldives. The water in the lagoon is so incredibly clear that snorkeling is not even required as the most colorful fish including reef sharks and stingrays pass by constantly.

It was awesome having a beach and lagoon all to ourselves. This beach was close to the overwater villa we had in the Holiday Inn resort on the South Male atoll of Kandooma Fushi in the Maldives.

On my walks around the South Male atoll of Kandooma Fushi in the Maldives I came across many palm trees. This one however especially caught my attention as it perfectly symbolizes paradise. A palm tree on a white beach near a turquoise lagoon.

I did not expect to see a grey heron while walking around the small atoll in paradise. Can't blame the bird though as staying in the Holiday Inn resort on the South Male atoll Kandooma Fushi in the Maldives is truly awesome.

This was the view we had from the balcony of our overwater villa in the Holiday Inn resort on Kandooma Fushi in the Maldives. The water in the lagoon is incredibly clear and shiny. Great temperature to swim in and mingle with the fish and reef sharks.

Sunsets on the Maldives can be mesmerizing, especially if you can experience them from the comfort of your own overwater villa. This sunset is in the Kandooma resort on the south Male atoll of Kandooma Fushi in the Maldives.
