E233 - The Maldives Resort That Was Never Opened, Dholhiyadhoo

In this episode, we finish our journey north through the Maldives. We first stop at Dholhiyadhoo to see the abandoned luxury resort. We explore this huge development was abandoned in 2011 and is amazing to think someone had to walk away from a near completed project. We then finish in Uligan where a huge pod of dolphins swims past our boat. Chris grabs his mask and fins and jumps in for an incredible swim with these amazing creatures. Finally we completed the checkout after a bit of a delay, headed for the Red sea!

We’re Chris and Jo, an ordinary Aussie couple living our extraordinary dream aboard our Seawind 1260 since January 2019 and now we continue from 2024 aboard our new 1370! Our adventure began with an unforgettable journey down the east coast of Australia, followed by a sail to the stunning New Caledonia. In 2020, we continued our exploration further north, and by 2021 and 2022, we circumnavigated Australia, discovering breathtaking locations along the way. Having previously owned fishing and water-skiing boats, our passion for sailing deepened after crewing in South Australia, leading us to make the leap into full-time living at sea. We hope to inspire you, just as we were inspired by other YouTube channels, to chase your dreams and explore the wonders of this beautiful world.
