We’ve arrived at the Noonu Atoll, Maldives, searching for the bluest water on the planet. We’re on the island of Medhufaru where Soneva Jani lies.
It’s a dreamy, idyllic place where two long jetties into a giant lagoon connect your room to the land. It’s like living on a boat; everywhere you look, there is the ocean (even the loo has a glass floor). Water slides, outdoor cinemas, and seabobs have kept my tykes busy while wifie and I try to circumnavigate the island via lagoon.
It’s an incredible place to photograph. I’ve not seen the ocean this intensely coloured; it just doesn’t look real.
Aquabumps is happy here, even though I suspect a local conspiracy to keep the waves away from me (and you). I’ve only seen one-footers around this island, and everyone points in all directions to where there’s more swell (to throw me off the scent).
