About this destination
The Maldives is an archipelago of 1,200 coral islands grouped into 26 atolls, famous for turquoise lagoons, white sand and overwater villas. It is one of the world’s most sought-after honeymoon and luxury destinations.
Resorts here are typically private islands with comprehensive facilities. Snorkeling and diving reveal vibrant coral gardens and manta rays. The slower pace of island life – read a book on your deck, take a dhoni cruise – defines the Maldivian experience.
