Travel – 4 Day Schedule in Conrad Maldives

Maldives was a paradise and a nice detox for our overworked souls. Now that I am back in the city, I cannot stop daydreaming about the wonderful experiences I had during my 5-day trip. Swimming with the baby sharks, the dolphins, and the manta rays over a vibrant sea garden, it was like living in a luxurious dream, except it was real! If it is your first time to Maldives, consider staying at Conrad Maldives. It has a bigger space and offers tons of different activities. Get a glance at our 4-day schedule for an idea of what to expect at the resort (we spent the first night in Male City and 4 days in Conrad Maldives):
