In this episode, we experience two completely different sides of the Maldives — from luxury resort life to uninhabited islands and life at anchor.
After an invitation we couldn’t refuse, we spend 24 hours at Kandooma Surf Resort, getting a glimpse of how most people experience the Maldives… with private bungalows, incredible food, and a level of comfort that feels worlds away from life on a sailboat.
But before long, we’re back to what we know best — sailing south through the atolls, chasing waves, exploring remote islands, collecting coconuts, and anchoring in some of the most beautiful places we’ve ever seen.
From ice baths and endless buffets…
to hermit crabs, palm trees, and quiet anchorages…
this episode is all about contrast, perspective, and the lifestyle we’ve chosen.
The Maldives is made up of nearly 1,200 islands, with only a small number home to resorts and local communities — and seeing both sides so closely together really made us stop and think.
There’s a time and place for luxury travel.
And then there’s life at sea.
So… what would you choose?
