“24 hours in Hulhumale’”: The very first guide exclusively about Hulhumale’
Nowadays, travel guides basically cover every point on the globe. However, a dedicated guide about the Maldivian island Hulhumale’ was missing. Also general guidebooks about the Maldives hardly pay attention to this new artificial island, linked to the airport and close to the capital Male’,
which receives more and more tourists. Finally, the e-booklet “24 hours in Hulhumale’” closes this gap. Many visitors may consider their stay in Hulhumale’ only as an unavoidable stopover between an overseas flight and their connection to or from a resort island. Yet, in “24 hours Hulhumale’” it is argued not to waste any minute of a precious, potentially once-in-a-lifetime vacation to the Maldives and to make the make the most of a short stay in Hulhumale’. At the same time this e-booklet recommends “to come to Hulhumale’ with the right expectations.” Hulhumale’ is not “an immaculate paradise isle”, but offers the opportunity “to explore modern daily life of the Maldivians”, while still providing for “fascinating activities, being another island in the beautiful Indian Ocean”. For those who are ready to discover “one of the most exciting urban construction projects worldwide on newly reclaimed land” this e-booklet guarantees for an efficient preparation in order not to lose valuable time. Written by a resident of Hulhumale’, it provides all relevant information as well as an abundance of tips. It contains chapters about activities, services at a glance from A to Z, shopping, transport, accommodation, food, children, safety, wheelchair access, environment as well as background information about the creation of Hulhumale’. Readers find addresses and numbers for the hospital, police, dentist, phone and computer repair, bank, pharmacy, spa, dry cleaning, post office, taxi, pizza service, etc. etc., but also suggestions to view memorable sunrises and sunsets, to taste Maldivian cuisine or BBQs, to circle the island by walking, running, inline skating or cycling, in addition to a whole range of beach and water activities and the unique chance to experience true Maldivian life.
“24 hours in Hulhumale’” is available on Amazon (http://amzn.to/1ckc5KY) and it is certainly worth its price in relation to the total costs of an average vacation to the Maldives. Contact for feedback and questions:
