Floating in the Indian Ocean, the Maldives are the cream of the crop when it comes to beach holidays. The waters here are their own brand of blue. The sands are blindingly white. And phalanxes of palm trees stand to attention. In the Maldives one will find brilliant white sands, sparkling aquamarine lagoons and vibrant coral reefs.
Maldives, or also called the Maldive Islands, is an island in the Indian Ocean that has 26 atolls. The island offers deep blue seas with great reefs, white sandy beaches, and diverse vegetation. It is basically a paradise, where people can spend long days to just unwind and relax. It is a great spot for diving, snorkeling or just exploring the waters with thousands of different fish swimming around the corals. These shores are always open to anyone, as it provides a tranquil haven for visitors
The world’s first underwater restaurant, under-water nightclub and underwater spa are all to be found here.
Resorts for Everyone
Every resort in the Maldives is its own private island, and with over 100 to choose from the only problem is selecting where to stay. The honeymooners and those seeking a glamorous tropical getaway have long had the country at the top of their wish lists. There are choice beyond the five- and six-star resorts. Other islands cater for families, for divers, for those on a relative budget, and anyone wanting a tranquil back-to-nature experience.
Underwater World
With some of the best diving and snorkelling in the world, the clear waters of the Maldives are a magnet for anyone with an interest in marine life. The richness and variety is astonishing – baby sharks can be spotted in any lagoon in the country, while dazzling spectacles such as huge coral walls, magnificent caves and schools of brightly coloured tropical fish await when one gets down to the reef. Manta rays, turtles, friendly sharks and even the world’s largest fish, the whale shark, can be seen all over the country and – amazingly – none of the life on the reef is dangerous.
Unbelievable Beaches
The Maldives is home to perhaps the best beaches in the world. While some beaches may boast softer granules than others, the basic fact remains that one will find whiter-than-white powder sand and luminous cyan-blue water almost nowhere else on earth. This fact alone is enough to bring nearly a million people a year to this tiny and otherwise little-known Indian Ocean paradise.
Unrivalled luxury, stunning white-sand beaches and an amazing underwater world make the Maldives an obvious choice for a true holiday of a lifetime.
