The 'Milky Way From the Maldives' program is, well, out of this world.
But Milaidhoo also offers an abundance of USPs. There’s the off-site snorkeling with Manta rays, during which you’ll also see the likes of blue surgeon fish, parrot fish and clown fish. There are the Maldivian-inspired healing techniques and ingredients used in four tranquil spa treatment suites, also set on stilts over the glistening lagoon.Then there’s Ba’theli , the only genuinely Maldivian restaurant in the country’s resorts, and one of four dining options on the island .

Dates for ‘Milky Way From The Maldives’ are based on careful analysis of the indigenous Maldivian calendar system , lunar cycles and astronomical events—plus avoidance of the rainy season, which spans roughly from May to October . Milaidhoo being only a fraction north of the equator, those who get really lucky may even find Southern Hemisphere constellations in the mix.The experience begins, excitingly, with outdoor lighting at the resort being switched off.
Of the educational element to the experience, Stimac adds: “There will be several sessions offered for guests who visit Milaidhoo for the astronomy retreat: including one about the culture and history of Maldivian astronomy, another about the solar system, our place in the universe and the current night sky.
Coming back down to earth, visitors are strongly advised to try the local breakfast—a generous platter including chili omelette, fish curry and breads—as they ponder the celestial experiences of the previous evening.
