Why visit Maldives?
The Maldives is a chain of coral atolls in the Indian Ocean, known for clear lagoons, overwater villas, and a relaxed island pace. You find a place to slow down, swim, and wake up close to the sea.
What to expect
Your time is usually spent on a private resort island or a local island guesthouse, reached by speedboat or seaplane from Malé. Days revolve around snorkelling, diving, spa time, and sunset cruises across calm waters.
Plan your trip
Most visitors pair a stay on one or two islands with a short stop in Malé for local colour. With strong links through Singapore, the Maldives also works well as part of a wider Asian journey.
