About Ruth
I discovered the Maldives almost 20 years ago, visiting as a scuba diver in search of mantas and whale sharks. My love and appreciation of this country, its people, its culture and traditions was almost immediate and resulted in me visiting the archipelago on over 30 occasions in the years since. In 2012 through a chance meeting over coffee on the beach the opportunity to relocate arose. When Secret Paradise was formed in 2012 local tourism was at the beginning of its journey and I was conscious that however we developed the business we needed to be mindful of ensuring we promoted local tourism in line with Maldivian culture and beliefs. Secret Paradise provides a range of unique guided local island multi tours as well as day excursions and guesthouse accommodation options. All combine the beauty of the Maldives, with activities and cultural engagement.

3 Nights Cultural Stay
Starts in Velana International Airport, Maldives
For a long time the Maldives has not been considered a destination suitable for an affordable stay. But since the introduction of local island guesthouses, the Maldives is beginning to find itself on the backpacker map. Our 3 night breaks are designed to either work as a self-contained Maldives experience, an add on to a resort stay or as a start to an independent stay in the archipelago. Staying on Guraidhoo in South Male Atoll, explore this quiet typical fishing island with sandy roads and palm trees. Discover locals going about their daily routine and carpenters at the local shipyard traditionally constructing typical local dhoni boats. Make friends with a local family over a traditional local dinner in their home. Snorkel the aqua marine waters and encounter a myriad of marine life or for those feeling energetic participate in Scuba diving, surfing, kiting and windsurfing for which the conditions in this area are excellent in season.
