Traveling with Secret Paradise isn’t just about exploring the Maldives and enjoying the beautiful beaches and tropical waters. It’s about discovering authentic experiences and off-the-beaten-path locations that you didn’t even know were there to discover. Secret Paradise guides enable guests to connect safely with both Maldivian culture, local communities and the environment, going beyond the realms of a traditional Maldives holiday. Secret Paradise is an award winning, responsible and sustainable tour company based in the Maldives. We received TripAdvisor's Travelers Choice Award 2020, following 5 consecutive years of achieving TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence. In 2020 we were commended in the ‘Meaningful Connections’ category World Responsible Tourism Awards and long listed for the 2015 'Best for engaging people and culture' category, World Responsible Tourism Awards. Secret Paradise tours and holidays stand out for many reasons; our experienced, professional local guiding team, our commitment to responsible tourism, our level of service and communication and the fact that we remain the only Maldives based tour company and DMC offering guided local island tours. As a unique operator in the Maldives we are mindful of ensuring we promote local tourism in line with Maldives culture and beliefs. We respect the communities who open their homes to our guests. Through education of both guests and locals we strive to protect the environment in which we operate and limit wherever possible any negative impact preserving this country's unique location for generations to come.
