Welcome!
In 2024 I created Manta Media Maldives in collaboration with a small team of experts. We are highly selective about the stories we curate. The aim is to offer compelling articles and information that’s genuinely useful and inspiring for travellers, rather than dry industry news and the same stories you’ll see everywhere. We don’t charge resorts to cover their news on Manta Media Maldives, as part of our pledge to maintain our journalistic integrity. Any advertorials (branded content) are marked as such.
I’m a travel journalist who has been writing about the Maldives since 2010 and has visited dozens of the resorts and dozens of the inhabited islands, dozens of times over. As one of only a handful of foreign travel journalists to have lived in the Maldives long-term (Male’ and Hulhumale’), I’ve carved out a niche as one of the foremost experts on writing about the Maldives from a traveller’s perspective.
Hundreds of my articles on the Maldives have been published in outlets including BBC Travel, Forbes Travel Guide, Business Insider, US News & World Report, Tripadvisor’s Stories platform, plus many more.
In 2011, I founded the company, Manta Media, in Male’, as a collective of travel journalists, photographers, videographers and translators. Our writers not only pen articles but also offer brand strategy, blog posts, brochures, SEO-optimised website content, press releases and other media services for the travel and tourism industry. Clients past and present include Amilla Maldives Resort, Hurawalhi Resort Maldives, AAA Hotels & Resorts Maldives, and Outrigger Resorts International.

We hope you enjoy our articles and please don’t forget to check out our amazing videos too.
