#beachvacation Maafushi is a picturesque island located in the Maldives, known for its stunning white sandy beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and vibrant coral reefs. 🤩 It's a popular destination for travelers seeking a budget-friendly Maldivian experience, with a range of guesthouses, water sports activities, and local shops and restaurants. 🤤 Maafushi offers opportunities for snorkeling, diving, and relaxation in a tranquil tropical paradise.🩴 Tips and Tricks ⁉️ 💸If your on a budget, then you still can visit Maafushi island as there are plenty of affordable hotels and guesthouses to stay in. Local shops will give you budget friendly food options to choose from. 💱Maldives accept USD and Maldivian Rufiya. If possible, do not exchange to local currency or if you do try to not exchange excessively. Local banks do not exchange the Rufiya to USD unless you have a receipt for vice versa exchange from that bank. 🛥️There are public and private shuttles that move between islands starting at $3 (1,5 - 2h boat ride) from Male island. 🤷‍♀️Choose your travel time wisely as during holy celebrations like Ramadan most of the places and public service come to a standstill. Enjoy! 💙💚❤️ #SpinTheWorld #maafushi #maldives #backpacking #budget

Restaurant: Mr. Octopus - Your Holiday Chef (Maafushi) Address: Kaani beach Maafushi, 08090, Maldives 《🇲🇻Maldives Food Tour 3️⃣》 After swimming in Dhiffushi, Hawksbill Sea Turtle and Southern Stingray, we took the Public Ferry to the second residential island - Maafushi for a few days. Maafushi can be said to be the most popular residential island in the Maldives🏝 Maafushi is almost half the size of Dhiffushi, the island has more than 3,000 residents, there are nearly 20 four-star or above hotels to choose from, and many can see the sea view from the room🌊. There are also several agents on the island that offer excursions and watersports for you to participate in their activities⛵️, with diving🤿, Parasailing, fishing🎣, snorkeling and more Another characteristic of the Maldives is that there are many street cats around 🐈, even on the island, all the food in the local restaurant is made to order, the serving speed is relatively slow, each meal has to wait for half an hour or even nine words time, for Hong Kong people should be a bit unaccustomed, but playing with the cats at this time is a kind of enjoyment and fun 🥰 After asking several local residents and hotel staff, many recommended this number one restaurant in Maafushi - Mr. Octopus - Your Holiday Chef @mr.octopus.maafushi ✝️Half & Half Pizza (MVR125) Always want to try the most different flavors of pizza at the lowest price🍕? Mr. Octopus has launched Half Half self-selected pizza, which allows you to choose two different flavors from the menu to build a complete pizza. The price is half the price of the two pizzas. Ordered the Alla Genovese and Octopus Pizza, the former used basil green sauce and Mozzarella cheese to make, the latter has octopus grains, tomatoes 🍅, Mozzarella cheese and secret sauce ✝️海鲜炒饭（MVR90） As a coastal country, eating seafood here is believed to be guaranteed, ordered this HK$45 seafood fried rice, containing shrimp 🦐, mussels, fish 🐟, and used a lot of vegetables to fry, both taste and appearance have improved a lot, shrimp chips and a sun egg 🍳, but the shrimp chips are very wet 🤢 Eating on the sand is a major feature, but the attitude of the staff seems to be mediocre. On the day I went, I saw foreign diners complaining and making a fuss🙈 🇲🇻 Travel Tip 1: Hong Kong dollar to Maldivian currency (MVR) is about 1 to 1.97 (e.g. this meal MVR251 is about HKD127), in addition basically all restaurants charge US dollars, but you have to ask what the exchange rate is 😎 🇲🇻Travel Tip 2: 10% service charge for local food in the Maldives, and 6% Goods and Services Tax (from January 1, 2023 will increase to 8%), calculate your budget before eating🤓 🇲🇻 Travel Tip 3: After sitting down, the restaurant will usually give you bottled water, if you don't need it, remember to speak up, because you have to pay 😛 #foodie #urbanexplorer #travel abroad #maldives #maafushi

#maafushi Island is one's of most popular local island, It is 27 km away from #male.There are many local diving and snorkeling centers that organised various day trips to beautiful reefs in #maldives. #unforgetabletrip #happynewyear #happynewyear

Come to Madai without diving? It is better not to come. LP declares that unless you spend some time exploring the magical underwater world of the Maldives, you can only see a small part of this colorful and beautiful country. Yes, the animals and plants that are out of the water are just a drop in the ocean, sweeping At a glance around the blue sea, you will find how incredible the ocean life here...". The trip to the sea is like this. At 9 o'clock, from Maafushi Island, two dives a day, all around the reef in the middle of the sea. The first point is mainly about corals and fish; the second point is mainly about turtles, but unfortunately. Then have a lunch on the uninhabited island, returning to the hotel at about 3 pm. In the end, it is a horse, and the visibility under water is very touching. Especially in the first second of the underwater world, it will still be shocked by the dreams below the sea level. This is the deadly attraction from blue opium! Although some corals still have whitening, it is a pity. There are not many snorkeling fish, I dont know if its weather. Basically, they are beautiful tropical fish. If you want to see "big goods", you still have to go deep dive. When it arrived at the uninhabited island, the iconic scenery of the horses was slowly unfolding. Everyone sneaked into the sun umbrella on the beach in twos and threes, and accompanied the staff who went out to the sea to distribute simple meals, drinks, and fruits. Just look at the blue sea as picturesque, big mouth and mouth, eat sorrow. The sky is blue and transparent, the blue water is clear and the blue is clear, and the gathering is so beautiful.

In the Maldives, I went to a resident island called Ma Fuji. The houses on the island are all colorful candy colors. Compared with the islands contracted by the hotel, they are completely different worlds. Riding a bicycle on a sparsely populated island, encountering local play, tanned children, always attracted by their blingbling curious eyes, I dont know if I have never seen me so dark Asian girl ~ has never been a step-by-step traveler. At the pier, take a boat that goes to the next second, go to an island that is not named, enjoy a quiet time, and there is no shortage of one. A fun and brave way to travel~

Ma Fu Shi resident island is a small residential island with a population of only 500. The islanders seem to have a talented artist-like artistic talent. The two adjacent houses are not the same color. I am surprised by this rainbow. The place of the fairytale town is even more marvel at the hard work and wisdom of the islanders... By the locals, they are impressed by the use of color. They are shocked to be talented painters! There are schools, restaurants, B&Bs, old people, children, everything you can imagine, the only difference is that it is colored, like a big bubble gum that blows up, Happiest and childlike

Visiting Maddives We stayed in a Water Pool & Jacuzzi Villa, which was very large. The design is a combination of Japanese and Maldivian styles. Every room has a pool with a full sea view. And every house also comes with a Jacuzzi. Speaking of food, this place offers Premium All inclusive food. The highlight here is that the food is served in courses, giving a luxurious and refined feel. There are 3 restaurants: Seafood, Japanese, International. You can eat and drink without limits. [The service here is at a good level. There is a Butler to take care of every room. And there are also Thai staff who facilitate in the resort. It eliminates communication problems.] .Highlight activity. Nurse Shark Snorkeling, which many people have to do at Maafushi, but here they have this activity. The price is 100 USD per person. You can do the activity. With fairly private service, taking good care of the staff. We will be able to snorkel at the resort. There is a chance to see turtles. Including sharks and rays It is considered a place with a good natural environment. Which is the closest to the airport .Activities that do not have to pay extra. 1. Sunset Cruise is another highlight activity in the Maldives because we will take a cruise to see the romantic sunset in the evening. If you are lucky, you will also see dolphins. 2. Spa 30 minutes. Anyone who wants a relaxing massage can get a free massage.
