10 out of 10
The Beaches in the Maldives need their own Category. They are so much better than anything I have thus far seen anywhere else.
Prior to visiting the Maldives, the best beach I had seen was Grace Bay, Providenciales, Turks and Caicos. However, these beaches are simply on a different level. I think the Maldives deserves its own category. The level of benign sea life, the completely transparent water, and the legitimate blues create the illusion that you are flying rather than swimming. It almost defies description. Staggering.
Size
400 meters by 165 meters. The whole island is a beach.
Sand Type
White sand, made of disintegrated coral and parrotfish droppings. This is some of the best sand in the world.
Water Appearance
Completely diaphanous out far beyond any safe swimming distance. Look at that blue.
Cleanliness
The resort keeps it completely clean.
Water Temperature
Warm and welcoming, like a mother's womb.
Shade Availability
There are benches, coconut-stripped palm trees, and shade everywhere.
Safety
There are lifeguards around and the resort will inform you of all the active currents.
Available Activities
Jetski, swimming, diving, scuba, snorkeling, underwater motor, kiteboarding. Basically every water sport is there.
Level of Calm
In the dry season there are almost no waves. Even on windy days, there are no waves. During the dry season, this is very calm. During the monsoon season, I do not know.
Animals
There are turtles, rays, dozens of fish species, reef species, sharks, and all other manner of sea life.
Access
Once you are on the island, all of you have to do is walk there. However, reaching this beach requires you to reach Male, the Maldives' capital, and then you have to take a sea plane to Kuredu island. Then you have to take a speed boat there.
Price
You aint reaching this island unless you have money.
