Maldives

The Maldives is made of over 1000 tiny coral islands scattered across the brilliant blue of the Indian Ocean, the “Gems of the Indian Ocean”. The Island resorts are home to some of the world’s finest white sand beaches and diving with amazing underwater worlds to explore.

Add crystal clear lagoons, swaying palm trees, seamless service, excellent water sports, vibrant sunsets, coral reefs, the aura of romance and you’ve got yourself a picture-perfect tropical paradise. The Maldives offers a castaway feel to any honeymoon or wedding. Many of the hotels offer honeymooner’s complimentary extras and with an added romantic feel some of the island’s restaurants give the opportunity for couple’s to eat outside on the beach under the stars surrounded by candlelight.

Underwater find a kaleidoscope of colour with over nine hundred species of exotic fish inhabiting the crystal clear waters of the world’s most famous coral reefs. The splendours of the underwater life include turtles, sharks, dolphins, whales, stingrays, moray eels and manta rays. This makes the Maldives the ideal place for diving and snorkelling. Most islands offer snorkelling, diving tasters and pre-bookable dive packages. Surfing is also very popular on the north east atolls.

Why not take a trip to the capital, Male and experience the Maldives culture, traditional colourful markets and pickup some unique Maldivian crafts.

Part of the magic of the Maldives is the resort transfers which add the extra bit of excitement to your holiday. Most of the resorts offer speedboat or seaplane transfers. The seaplane offers some of the most fantastic views of the islands.

From the moment you arrive in the Maldives surrender to complete relaxation - wandering barefoot through the soft sands, sunbathing beneath the swaying palm trees, sipping cocktails and gazing into the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. What more could you need for the perfect holiday.

Think Desert Island, think barefoot paradise, think… Maldives! Escape from the everyday pace of modern life and look no further for your Luxury Maldives holiday.
