Watching Sunset on the Maldivian Dhoni

One of the activities which is a must-try is to watch a sunset on a boat. Of course when in Maldives, one should always experience a sunset cruise on the Maldivian Dhoni, a traditional Maldivian sailboat.

 I have the view of the dhoni everyday at breakfast table.

My bolleke was so sweet that he arranged this with our hotel at Naladhu Maldives as a surprise on Sunday evening. However, funny enough that our butler spoils the surprise by asking him about the cruise on Friday which made me laughed so hard! Of course this was not only the surprise he accidentally let out because he did that to all the other surprises - snorkeling and spa except the romantic private dining on the beach.

The Jetty at Naladhu where we waited for our Maldivian Dhoni.
Isn't the colour of the sea amazing?

Our Maldivian Dhoni arrived at 5.30pm. The boat looks so beautiful. 
It's even more beautiful when it is sailing above the crystal clear blue sea.

What I love so much about Naladhu is the sincerity and the warm gesture from the staff. Every arrival and departure of the guests bring a gathering of Carla (Resort Manager), exclusive concierge, butler and personal assistant at the Jetty to welcome and to bid farewell. They will be waving frantically at the Jetty until the speedboat is no longer be seen. I find it rather heart warming to see their effort in making the guests feel utmost important.

Canapes are served and a bottle of my favourite Ruinart Blanc de Blanc is popped open.

The Canapes which comes in an assortment of fried spring rolls, samosa, stuffed mushroom and brushetta are delicious. Sipping a glass on champagne, indulging in the delectable finger food and admiring the sunset sounds so divine. It's really a wonderful experience to unwind above such a beautiful deck. I feel like a Maldivian princess already. Thanks to my bolleke and the nice crew on the boat.


The sun sets really quickly at about 6-6.30pm.

They set out the sail and we drifted on the calm sea while watching the sunset. We spent almost 2 hours during the whole sunset cruise and by the time we got off the boat at 7pm, it's already quite dark in Maldives but the moon and stars lit up the clear skies. What a stunning view of the sky from this island. I could live here forever!!!!

Something romantic that we do for every sunset we watch together except that titanic pose which I did because I felt the setting was very appropriate. hahaha

Another beautiful day in Maldives.
