overwater bungalows alone makes Maldives worth the trip

I'll be honest — I went to Maldives primarily to see overwater bungalows, and it delivered beyond what any photo prepares you for. But the surrounding region surprised me just as much. Addu Atoll has a character I didn't anticipate, and wandering without a plan for an afternoon turned out to be one of the highlights.

The food is extraordinary. fihunu mas grilled fish sounds simple but here it's done with real craft. total relaxation and luxury added another layer to the experience. Spent 17 days and honestly could have used a week more.
