Still think the Maldives is about luxury resorts?
Do you want to experience the ‘real’ Maldives in a responsible and sustainable way?

Responsible Tourism plays a very large part in what we do. We are mindful of ensuring we promote local tourism in line with Maldivian culture and beliefs.

Through education of both guests and locals we aim to protect the environment and limit where ever possible any negative impact to local life.

🇲🇻 Sustainable Tours
All our tours are designed so that guests experience the natural beauty and participate in activities commonly associated with the Maldives.

They also have the opportunity to engage with its people and culture first hand.

Our guests can become actively involved in conservation programs and learn how they too can be responsible during their stay in the Maldives.

🇲🇻 Expert Maldives Travel Advice
Our team of local experts based in Hulhumale offer honest advice, high standards of service, value for money, timely communication and satisfied clients.

🇲🇻 DMC services
Secret Paradise offers a complete tailor-made booking service for travel agents and group travel organizers. We can take care of everything from the moment of arrival to the time of departure.

As you would expect from a professional company we have robust SOPs, Health & Safety practices and conduct regular risk assessments. We hold a valid tourism license and Professional Public Liability Insurance.

🇲🇻 Accommodation
By staying in local island guest houses our guests are contributing to the local economy and increasing local employment. The properties we partner are run by local island families where everyone is instrumental in the day to day running of the guest house.

Based in the Maldives we complete annual audits of all our carefully selected partner properties to ensure safety and standards are maintained as well as sourcing feedback from our guests.

🇲🇻 Guides
Our local guides between them have years of local knowledge and expertise to share. They are passionate in sharing their country’s culture, history and tradition, as well as their own personal experiences.

Our local guides all complete an in house training program as well as the Lead Amazing Tours program ensuring our guests receive only the best service and experience.
