RTÉ One’s High Road Low Road Grand Finale Features Maldives

RTÉ One High Road Low Road Grand Finale Features Maldives

RTÉ One’s popular travel series High Road, Low Road wrapped up its fourth season with an exciting finale filmed in the Maldives. The episode showcased two distinct experiences in one of the world’s top destinations. The show, known for sending celebrity guests on surprise trips, follows a unique premise. One guest enjoys a luxurious, high-end vacation, while the other delves into local culture through a more budget-friendly, immersive journey.

For the grand finale, the Maldives became the destination. The episode was filmed in collaboration with Visit Maldives. The show highlighted two contrasting locations: the five-star Sun Siyam Olhuveli resort and the local island of Guraidhoo. These spots clearly showcased the stark contrast between the Maldives’ luxurious resorts and its vibrant, cultural local life. Irish actresses Neili Conroy and Denise McCormack were the featured guests. Each explored a unique side of this iconic destination.

Florante Abuton Jr, Assistant PR and Communications Manager at Sun Siyam Olhuveli commented on this collaboration:

“We are thrilled to be part of High Road, Low Road and to showcase the Maldives in all its diverse glory. This collaboration highlights how travellers can enjoy both the luxury of Sun Siyam Olhuveli and the authentic beauty of local islands like Guraidhoo. Whether you’re seeking a lavish escape or a deeper cultural connection, the Maldives offers it all.”

A Tale of Two Maldives: Luxury vs. Local Immersion

Neili Conroy, known for her adventurous spirit, took the “high road.” She enjoyed a lavish stay at Sun Siyam Olhuveli. Her time was filled with all the hallmarks of a luxury holiday. She relaxed with spa treatments, savored gourmet meals, and experienced the world-class hospitality the Maldives is famous for. The stunning turquoise waters and pristine beaches provided the perfect setting for her ultimate island getaway.

Meanwhile, Denise McCormack embraced the “low road.” She chose to experience the authentic Maldivian lifestyle on Guraidhoo, one of the country’s vibrant local islands. Denise spent her time connecting with the island’s community, visiting local shops, and learning about traditional customs. Her experience offered a different, yet equally rewarding, way to explore the Maldives. It highlighted the rich culture that thrives beyond the resorts.

This partnership between High Road, Low Road, Visit Maldives, Sun Siyam Olhuveli, and Guraidhoo underscored the Maldives as a destination that caters to every type of traveler. Whether you seek the opulence of a five-star resort or the depth of cultural immersion, the Maldives offers a diverse range of experiences.

The episode, which recently aired on RTÉ One, gave Irish viewers a broad glimpse into the Maldives. Both luxury and local charm were on display, reminding everyone that the Maldives is a destination for all. From those seeking pure indulgence to those wanting to connect with its rich culture, the Maldives has something for everyone.
