MALDİVES

Scattered like glitter in the turquoise Indian Ocean, over a thousand tiny coral islands make up the Maldives, where everyone's an island castaway. Lacy coral reefs, jewel-coloured fishes and talcum powder sands: we promise you'll never see anywhere as beautiful as this.The Maldives are in the heart of the Indian Ocean, near to Sri Lanka and southern India.

ISLAND HOPPING

A popular excursion, on which you can discover the unique identity of the resort islands, uninhabited islands and fishing islands, with their local houses, and gain a fascinating insight into Maldivian lifestyles and traditions

BEACHES

A sunbather’s paradise, the Maldives offer some of the world’s best deserted beaches, while lagoons, filled with three quarters of the world's reef fish species, provide spectacular diving and snorkelling.

FOOT AND DRINKS

Fresh fish and coconuts are eaten in abundance, the only foods not imported. Try delicious spiny-backed lobster, a local delicacy, or the Maldivian fish curry. Despite being Muslim islands, alcohol is freely available, however you are not allowed to import it and customs confiscate any alcohol on arrival.

NIGHT LIFE

The larger island resorts offer music, dancing and folklore shows. On quieter islands, nights are best spent relaxing, listening to waves as they gently wash the shore. Alternatively, try night fishing.
