Excursion Beach escape at crossroads tour at Male

Experience the Maldives’ first multi-island, fully integrated leisure destination. In a nation of nearly 1,200 jewel-like islands scattered across a sea of equatorial Indian Ocean waters and ringed by some 5% of the planet’s reefs, just a single group of islets is Crossroads. Nestled amongst breathtakingly exotic Kaafu Atoll and Emboodhoo Lagoon, Crossroads Maldives sits just a scenic 30-minute spin from Male´ jetty by speedboat once you tender in from the ship.

Arriving at Crossroads, you’ll be greeted with a refreshing welcome drink, then have about 3 hours of delightfully freeform time to drink in the beauty and attractions of this unique ocean-kissed venue. Strolling The Marina, you’ll find the legendary Hard Rock Café (open from 12 noon) along with diverse internationally-inspired culinary options and opportunities for curated ‘retail therapy.’  

Perhaps you’ll catch the jetset scene at the Yacht Marina quay or soak up some sun along the Beach Club’s soft white strand. Laze on a chaise (or a float) at the Beach Club’s sprawling tiled and palmed pool. Revitalise your senses with a treatment at one of the holistic spa/wellness centres, or slip on a snorkel to see what’s going on below the surface in this marine sanctuary.

After having savoured the myriad pleasures of these hours spent at Crossroads, a second 30-minute speedboat spin whisks you back to the tender jetty in Malé – where your Silversea ship waits just a short hop away. Overall, it’s been a delightful way to get to know the Maldives.
