About Us

Welcome to Manta Media Maldives

Sarah Harvey, Editor

I’m a travel journalist who has been writing about the Maldives since 2010 and has visited dozens of the resorts and inhabited islands, dozens of times. As one of only a few 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 international and local publications as well.

In 2011, I founded Manta Media in Male’, a collective of travel journalists, photographers, videographers and translators. Our writers not only write articles but also do 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 International.

In 2024 I also created the travel resource, Manta Media Maldives, in collaboration with a small team of experts. The aim is to provide accurate information and inspiration for travellers. 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.

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