You can experience the gorgeous turquoise lagoons and powdery white sand that the Maldives is famous for whilst staying in a Maldives guesthouse. Most guesthouses provide access to practically all of the types of excursions and activities that resorts offer, like island-hopping trips, diving and watersports. But rather than being isolated on a private island (traditionally there has been a ‘one resort per island’ rule), guesthouses are located on some of the Maldives’ fascinating ‘inhabited islands’. Inhabited islands are any islands where local people live.
