Uncover the Maldives beyond the big resorts
With crystal-clear lagoons, world-class snorkelling and picture-perfect beaches, this South Asian paradise has long been a hot spot for luxury travellers. But the real cultural connections happen beyond the glossy hotels. Whether you're dancing to the beat of bodu beru drums, tasting sugary huvadhoo bondi from an island market, watching tuna fishermen bring in the day's catch, or just basking in the views from the deck of your traditional dhoni boat, this is your chance to see the Maldives like a local.

Choose Kethi for your next adventure in the Maldives. This sleek Dhoni boat (a traditional motorised vessel used in the Maldives) houses 12 passengers with a small crew of five, including your captain and onboard chef. The six cosy cabins all feature ensuites and air-conditioning with wooden interiors. You can spend your days aboard looking out to sea on the sundeck, chilling out in the dining area or the bar, or making the most of the snorkeling equipment. At night, maybe watch the sunset from the sun loungers with a drink.Maldives at a glance
