TV presenter Davina McCall enjoys a range of activities on a social media shoot in The Maldives.
From snorkelling to cooking on the beach she went behind the scenes with TUI’s global hotel brand TUI BLUE.
Davina has been a brand ambassador since 2022, first exploring the restorative benefits of travel in Turkey and then the importance of reconnecting with friends in Cyprus. Her latest shoot took her to the idyllic Indian Ocean setting of South Male Atoll in The Maldives where she went behind the scenes with staff to investigate the other side of holidays in paradise.
Spending time with the BLUE Guides and island hosts at The TUI BLUE Olhuveli Resort, Davina helped curate personal experiences for some fellow guests and joined them to put them to the test. She went snorkelling with one couple to discover the spectacular marine inhabitants of a deserted shipwreck, joined a pair of sisters to learn how to prepare Maldivian delicacies in a cooking class on the golden sands and teamed up with an adult family for an exercise session over the Indian Ocean.
And she took everyone on an evening cruise to experience the stunning golden light of sunset on the ocean and enjoy a very special moment, witnessing bottlenose dolphins swimming in their natural habitat.
On her experience as holiday curator, Davina McCall, said: “When I go on holiday, I love trying something new and challenging, as well as taking time to unwind. On my last outings with TUI BLUE the gang have created itineraries tailored exactly to what I want from a holiday. So, I was really pleased when they suggested I go behind the scenes and make holiday dreams come true some lovely friends I invited to The Maldives.
Lots of us have got memories of somebody who’s gone out of their way to help make our holiday extra special, from the kids’ club entertainers who make magic happen for everyone’s kids to the concierge who know all the best haunts and best local restaurants. My time with the TUI BLUE team showed me just how dedicated the people who work behind the scenes are. I can’t tell you how much effort they put in and how much care and attention it takes to give holidaymakers the sensational experiences they expect and deserve.
Seeing the joy my mates got from the activities we recommended was even better than going along with them to sample some incredible experiences. And that’s saying something as I got to swim with turtles in the warm clear Indian Ocean, see dolphins up close, create and sample some sensational food and work out on a fitness platform suspended overwater.”
Fans can see how Davina did and check out her experiences on her Instagram and TikTok channels over the next five weeks.
