A private island paradise in a country that’s 99% water, famed for having some of the world’s most stunning coastal scenery? Not a tough sell for most travelers. But there are a few downsides. Being on a remote island can limit dining options.
Coral propagation in the Marine Discovery Centre Like most resorts in the Maldives, CROSSROADS has a watersports center for those looking to get out on boards and JetSkis or plan scuba and snorkel excursions in the surrounding reefs. Adjacent to it is the Marine Discovery Centre, which teaches visitors about the importance of sustainable practices. An onsite coral propagation nursery offers a hands-on experience that gives broken pieces of coral a second chance at life.
