Maldives

Maldives — Paradise Found

Scattered like a necklace of pearls across the Indian Ocean, the Maldives is made up of 1,192 coral islands grouped into 26 atolls. Powder-white sand, water so clear it hardly looks real, and some of the richest marine life anywhere on the planet — this is the definition of tropical bliss.

When to Go

The dry season from November to April brings endless blue skies, calm seas, and superb diving visibility. Water temperatures hover around 27–29 °C all year, so swimming is always on the cards.
