Your week
Eight days, one unforgettable island.
There is enough planned to make every day memorable, with breathing room for beach time, spontaneous plans and slow island mornings.
Meet the island
House-reef snorkelling, beach time, fruit plantations, palm lanes and an introduction to local life.
Ocean adventure
A boat day in search of mantas and nurse sharks, with a sandbank stop and breakfast on board.
Play on the water
Choose an included water activity, unwind on the beach and explore the island together at sunset.
A taste of resort life
Swap local-island rhythm for pools, beaches, lunch and a day of classic Maldives luxury.
Sunset fishing & BBQ
A slow morning, golden-hour fishing and a relaxed social evening around a barbecue dinner.
Your island, your way
Beach, bikes, diving, cafés or an optional adventure — followed by our farewell dinner.

Good to know
Before you book.
A few practical answers for your first trip with Oh More Travel.
Can I join on my own?
Absolutely. The experience is designed with solo travellers in mind. Shared dinners, group activities and a host make it easy to connect from the first evening.
Who will I share a room with?
The base price is for a shared twin room. Solo travellers are paired with another traveller of the same gender. Ask us about availability and pricing if you prefer a private room.
Do I need to be a strong swimmer?
You should feel reasonably comfortable in the water for snorkelling activities. Life jackets and local guides are used where appropriate, and you can always sit out an activity.
Are flights included?
No. You book your own flight to Malé International Airport. We will share arrival-time guidance so your flight works with the island speedboat schedule.
What happens if the weather changes?
Island life follows the ocean. For safety, activities may move to another day or be adjusted by local operators. Wildlife encounters are always subject to natural conditions.
Is travel insurance required?
Travel and medical insurance is not included. We strongly recommend coverage for medical treatment, trip disruption and water activities.
