The Maldives is a tropical destination boasting crystal-clear oceans and powder-soft white sand. Moving between the islands is an experience in itself. Take a speedboat or scenic seaplane to reach your chosen location, as the archipelago is made up of over 1,100 stunning coral islands.
The main attraction of the Maldives is the natural environment, where the rhythm of life is dictated by the ocean. Beneath the surface, a vibrant world awaits. Explore the colourful coral reefs through world-class diving and snorkelling, and admire a rich tapestry of aquatic life. This is the ultimate escape if you're seeking serenity in the Indian Ocean.
If you wish to go beyond the resorts, take a water taxi to the nation's capital, Malé. Here, you can taste a slice of authentic Maldivian culture away from the idyllic resorts. Wander around local markets or spoil yourself at a variety of other shopping outlets. Remember to stop by the historic Old Friday Mosque, one of the most important structures in the capital.
