Holidays in Maldives

An introduction to Maldives

Holidays in the Maldives were made for sun, sea and lazy days in tropical climates. You will love the sugar soft sands and magical underwater worlds that await you. The Maldives are famous for their luxurious hotels and beautiful surroundings.

The Maldives are made up of 1,190 coral islands that form an archipelago of 26 major atolls. Each one is fringed with exotic colourful coral and a rainbow of marine life. Step onto the pure white powdery soft sands. Swim in the turquoise lagoons of the Indian Ocean. Dive beneath the enchanting seas and gaze at the schools of kaleidoscopic fish that weave past you.

North Male Atoll - which has the largest number of resorts - is in an idyllic setting, fringed by deserted beaches and peppered with verdant palm trees. The blissful Raa Atoll is also perfect for isolated, un-interrupted holidays to the Maldives. South Ari Atoll and South Male Atoll are also popular destinations.

So other than doing nothing, what else can you get up to here? Why not participate in some watersports? Have a go at surfing, snorkelling or fishing? Also, a trip to the capital, Male, is a must. Pick up some local crafts and souvenirs or visit one of the many historical sites including the old Friday Mosque or the National museum.

If it's paradise on earth you seek, book yourself an all inclusive summer jaunt or last minute winter-sun holiday to the Maldives. You won't be disappointed.
