FBMALDIVES TRAVEL DOCUMENTARY | The Pearls of the Indian Ocean
Follow us on our Maldives island adventure with Soneva, exploring the beautiful beaches and rich coral reefs of the country. We spent one week at two resorts soaking in the intense Maldivian sun while learning more about both the beauty and the problems of the Maldives.
Thank you to Soneva (https://soneva.com/) for supporting us in the creation of this documentary.
Special thanks to Nila Patty and Maavin Faure for helping us with fact-checking, the pronunciation of Maldivian names, and the identification of marine species. Big thank you to Kika Mantzouridou for believing in our idea of a Maldives Travel Documentary. And, of course, thank you to all the people that made our stay unforgettable, among many others Lilian, Kochey, Alson, Bart Knols, Avinash Pratap Singh, Eleanor Butler, Nicola Reynolds, Naifa Zahir, Erin Barr, and Janusz Poźniak.
All photo credits for the images of Thilafushi go to Matt Porteous and Soneva.
