Maldives
A holiday to the Maldives is an ultimate escape and somewhere dreams are made of. The picture-perfect string of islands, stretching across the 26 coral atolls are each individual and although essentially your own desert island, each has their character.
Depending on the island, right from the very touchdown at the airport, the holiday is already special. Some islands require a seaplane transfer, some have speedboats whisking you away from reality directly to your paradise. This really is a beach holiday like no other.
Each island its own hotel, it’s your base for the entirety of your holiday. There isn’t a village you can wander off to down the beach, or nip into town to do some shopping, this is an island escape to close away the pace of normal life. It really is a great choice for honeymooners looking for the exclusivity and privacy the Maldivian hotels can provide.
The accommodation is unique as well. Many of the hotels have over-water rooms and suites, and if not you’re right on the water’s edge, never too far away from the sea. There’s usually a choice of restaurants as well, especially on the larger islands, and hotels which are also suitable for families.
Diving is also a major attraction with some of the best conditions and most diverse marine life anywhere in the world. You’ll be able to see turtles, manta rays and dolphins along with much other marine wildlife on the untouched coral reefs.
