Holidays to Maldives
A holiday in the Maldives offers the ultimate getaway experience, presenting the perfect vision of a desert island paradise straight out of your most vivid dreams. Sands are white and soft as talc; warm, shallow seas are turquoise and clear, and emerald palms are stirred by gentle tropical breezes. These remote and truly unique islands in the Indian Ocean are the perfect place to escape from the tribulations of modern life into the embrace of pure, unadulterated luxury.
Luxury holidays in the Maldives
Your Maldives holidays will be the embodiment of luxury and exclusivity. With spectacular resorts catering to your every whim, you’ll be pampered by fine foods, views, and spa treatments.
Imagine slowly walking into the Indian Ocean, descending the shallow turquoise waters before snorkelling amongst shoals of blue-lined snappers in the spectacular coral reefs!
5 great reasons to holiday in the Maldives
- The most stunning collection of islands ever seen!
- Beautiful coral reefs to discover
- Exclusive resorts
- Feeling active? The surf is world-renowned!
- Experience night fishing with the locals
Things to do whilst on holiday
With the benefit of being comprised of 26 atolls with over 3000 coral reefs, you’ll be able to get a different diving spot every single day with minimal travel time. Whether you’re a pro or amateur, diving in the Maldives is suited for all levels of experience. However, the snorkelling is equally as impressive!
From June to September you’ll be able to experience some of the highest waves to reach this part of the Indian Ocean, with waves around 3 to 8 feet high. Remember that you need not bring your own equipment as every resort has a water sports centre providing equipment of all sizes.
To experience something truly original why not go on a night fishing excursion. A Maldivian night fishing trip begins just before sunset to explore the best location beside a reef. You’ll have local knowledge to guide your catches from the sea to the BBQ!
