Maldives Holidays

The Maldives are made up of loads of tiny little islands, so it’s not surprising that the biggest attractions revolve around the water. Snorkelling and scuba diving are among the most popular picks – lots of the islands are private, so you’ll have a house reef almost all to yourself. Relaxation fans have picturesque beaches to spread out on. And those with a real love for adventure can try shark diving excursions.

You’ll find that there are plenty of boat trips in the Maldives, transporting travellers between the atolls or heading out on fishing, snorkelling and diving trips. If you’re looking for places to visit, try the capital, Male, where you can visit local mosques. And while you’re there, be sure to take a trip to the Ari atolls which are bursting with scuba-ready sites. While each atoll is different, you’ll find things to be quieter towards the north, and more developed towards the south.

Holidays to the Maldives are a favourite of newlyweds, and that’s because of the luxurious places to stay that can be found across the atolls. Due to the lack of land, lots of suites and villas are positioned on stilts, jutting out over the water for amazing views of the Indian Ocean. Pair this with four-poster beds and romantic beach dinners, and you’ve got everything you need for a hot honeymoon destination.
