Ever since Mastercard launched its flagship Priceless programme in the Maldives , local cardholders and holidayers have been accumulating unforgettable experiences in the island nation .
Known for its azure blue waters , pristine beaches and equatorial calm , the Maldives has captivated travellers for years with priceless experiences . With the launch of the Priceless programme , Mastercard holders can now enjoy the true local flavours and feel of the island nation , and make memories for a lifetime .
“ Maldives is an ideal market to introduce the Priceless programme , which lays emphasis on the importance of memorable experiences rather than material things ,” says Sandun Hapugoda , Mastercard Country Manager for Sri Lanka and the Maldives . “ Since time is a highly precious resource for most travellers , our mission is to provide the opportunity for unforgettable moments with their loved ones . We are confident that our existing and new cardholders will make the most of this by engaging in something Priceless .”
Mastercard has carefully curated five
Priceless experiences across the atolls :
• On Malé Atoll , thrill seekers can go on a surf safari at Sultans surf break with some of the best surfers from the Maldives Surfing Association and end the day with a sunset cruise leading to their resort .
• On Laamu Atoll , guests can indulge in an expedition to enjoy unique cuisines , take part in drone photography masterclasses , and engage in pole-and-line tuna fishing with the locals .
• Join a local conservationist and swim amongst manta rays having a feeding frenzy off Baa Atoll , take a Nature walk on Fuvahmulah Island ( part of Gnaviyani Atoll ), take a trip to the only freshwater lake in the Maldives , and sink into a spiritual mud bath facilitated by a local healer .
• For the more adventurous , set up “ camp ” on a deserted , uninhabited island and play Robinson Crusoe on Vaavu Atoll for a few days . The programme invites people to break free from their routines and fill their lives with something extraordinary . With the Maldives offering a world of possibilities , this truly is the perfect pairing in the tropics .
