Aptly described by many as being a tropical paradise, the Maldives with its soft sandy beaches, calm aquamarine waters, idyllic lagoons and magical sunsets offers visitors a truly enchanting getaway full of romance and family fun. Made up of thousands of islands, the country also has a rich cultural heritage. While many of the islands provide secluded coastal getaways, the capital Male, is known for its lively atmosphere and is where one can visit a variety of cultural attractions and religious monuments. When exploring Male make sure to visit the Jumhooree Maidan, an ideal place to unwind and relax after a long day of sightseeing. This popular area can be found along the waterfront in the northern part of Male and features lush green expanses. Also known as Republic Square, the area is popular amongst locals too, especially teenagers who can be seen hanging out here in the evenings. There is an area to dock boats as well and many visitors from the resorts alight here. Also part of the site is the Presidential Jetty which is used by the country's President as well as members of the cabinet. The park is bordered by several commercial buildings and state establishments such as the National Security Service and the Headquarters of the Police. The Grand Friday Mosque and the Islamic Centre are easily accessible from Jumhooree Maidan as well, making it an ideal place to take a break in between sightseeing. As you explore this relatively small park you will come across a flagpole at its centre which has the country's flag flying at the top of its mast. Jumhooree Maidan is also used to host cultural performances and entertainment shows at various times of the year, so you may be in for an extra treat when you visit here. With its seaside views and laidback ambience, the park offers an ideal getaway for families, friends and couples looking to enjoy great company and panoramic vistas by the sea. Those in search of luxurious resorts in Maldives from which to set off on their adventures can consider Maafushivaru Maldives. One of the leading Maldives island resorts, it provides accommodation in traditional style villas and lets you experience the very best the country has to offer.
