General Information Maldives | Affordable Holiday Packages

The Maldives are simply unique - a chain of 1,190 tiny islands strung out ‘like pearls' across a milk-green and azure sea with 78 of them have to a resort that covers the whole island. You'll walk on some of the finest, whitest sand; recline under the shade of lime green palm trees that stretch out over the lagoon like giraffes drinking; and you'll swim in water so warm and clear that it feels like you're surrounded by liquid glass.

Some resorts have rooms or thatched chalets shelted beneath the palms; others are far grander with elegantly designed room blocks or - best of all - bungalows built on stilts far out into the lagoon. They all have bars, restaurants, swimming pools and nightlife, of course. But it's watersports for which these islands are renowned while the windsurfing and water-skiing are incredible but it is the snorkeling and diving that are really spectacular and have made this destination world famous. It's your wildest fantasy come true - being marooned on a tiny tropical island in the middle of nowhere with the one you love! From thrilling watersportsfor the active to solitude for stressed-out holiday-maker, the Maldive's combinations of the two is nothing short of awesome.
