ISSUE 03 | MARCH 2020 BIKERS CLUB ® MAGAZINE | PAGE 64 NATIONAL MUSEUM MALDIVES The National Museum of Maldives is an ancient building containing a well-maintained collection of artefacts that help in tracing unusual historical events of this archipelago. It aims at instilling patriotic feelings in the citizens of Maldives. The museum has a massive assemblage of royal antiquities ranging from the Buddhist and Islamic era making it a paradise for the lovers of history and crafts. HULHUMALE Just south of the North Male Atoll and connected to the airport lays a gem of an island called the Hulhumale. The island sprawls across 188 hectares of palm trees and spectacular beaches and is a perfect fusion of urban life with the delights of island life. MALDIVE VICTORY If one were to describe the Maldive Victory in a single sentence, it would be "there is always something destructive in something beautiful." The Maldive Victory is a famed wreck diving spot with picturesque resorts encompassing it. MAAFUSHI ISLAND It is not until one steps into the beautiful Maafushi Island in the Maldives does one know how it feels like to stay in a slice of paradise on earth. Maafushi is one of those local Maldivian islands where people go to rejuvenate their fatigued souls and bask in the tranquillity that envelopes this tourist destination. HP REEF One of the most beautiful diving sites in the Maldives, the HP Reef, located at the North Male Atoll, is also referred to as the 'Girifushi Thila' and the 'Rainbow Reef', the latter owing to the plethora of brightly coloured corals that adorn the seabird. DOLPHIN & WHALE WATCHING WITH SUNSET CRUISES A relatively more relaxed activity for the leisure lovers, Maldives is ideal for observing these spectacular creatures over the day and soak in the vivid hues while watching the sunset. The Maldives is home to a wide array of species of both dolphins and whales.
