Indian Ocean - Maldives
Flight Time  Flight time to destination: 10½hrs

Paradise found
A quintessential paradise for romantics and dreamers everywhere, the thousand islands of the Maldives are scattered like pearls over the deep blue Indian Ocean, to the south west of Sri Lanka. Only 200 of these are inhabited, but all promise sun-drenched, white sandy beaches, crystal-clear seas and total relaxation.
There’s nowhere on earth like the Maldives to go barefoot on the beach. With so many beautiful islands forming over 25 major atolls in this archipelago, the result is a tropical holiday haven beyond compare - so grab an island and enjoy. Almost every resort is on its own exclusive island, which means hopping from one local island to another is all part of the Maldives experience, as is surfing, diving, dolphin watching and beach combing. These unique islands with their huge lagoons of different depths, infinite shades of blue and turquoise and dazzling underwater coral gardens, are the perfect natural combination for the ideal holiday escape.

The Underwater Experience
The Maldives have some of the best dive sites in the world, famed for their rare underwater beauty, currents that bring in over 700 fish species, psychedelic colours and visibility often exceeding 50 metres, who could argue. You will also discover a prolific reef life with hard and soft corals, nudibranch, turtles and rays. Whale shark encounters are common especially on the fantastic liveaboard options, where sightings are almost guaranteed.

Underwater Highlights
* World-class house reefs around all atolls
* Abundant and diverse marine life
