Private villas hung above stunning blue seas, alabaster white sand beaches, and breathtaking sunsets lowering towards the horizon. The visual splendour of the Maldives is breathtaking, and you won't really know it until you go there yourself.
This secluded nation of 1,200 islands and over 30 coral atolls offer world-class diving and snorkelling. There are several possibilities to get out of the hotel resort bubble and enjoy the magnificent remoteness of this tropical paradise. The Maldives is becoming a more affordable holiday destination, thanks to a better speedboat transit system and the emergence of independent guesthouses.
THINGS TO SEE AND DO
Visit Male
There are several must-see attractions in the Maldivian capital. Visit the nation's 17th-century mosque (Hukuru Miskiiy) and the National Museum for a historical overview of the country. Take a coffee in one of the deliciously chaotic cafés and watch the world go by.
Go Diving
The Maldives is one of the world's top diving locations. Visit Rasdhoo Madivaru (aka Hammerhead Point) to see hammerheads or free dive with whale sharks. There are also several manta rays and marine turtles here. Dives in a single tank start at 925 MVR (USD 60).
Relax on the beach
Outside of the private resorts, two of the nicest beaches in the Maldives are Omadoo on the South Ari Atoll and Ukulhas Island on the Alif Alif Atoll. Manadhoo is also a fantastic location. Take note: Please be sure you're on a 'Bikini Beach' (a beach specifically for westerners).
Do Water Sports
Parasailing, water skiing, jet-skiing, snorkelling, and kayaking are all available in the Maldives, as well as banana boats (inflatable boats hauled by a speedboat). Snorkelling costs 123 MVR (USD 8), and tandem parasailing costs 3,000 MVR (USD 200).
WHAT TO EAT
The seafood in the Maldives is really wonderful and extremely fresh. The majority of Male's restaurants have outside seating. The Seagull Café, Symphony, Royal Garden Café, and Irudhashu Hotaa are some of the most popular locations to visit (for quick meals).
WHERE TO STAY?
Every resort in the Maldives has its own private island, and with over 100 options, the only challenge is deciding where to stay. At the very top, the world's most exclusive hotel companies seek to achieve ever-higher levels of luxury, from personal butlers and private lap pools to in-room massages and pillow menus. It's no surprise that honeymooners and anyone looking for a luxury tropical holiday have long placed the country at the top of their bucket lists. Beyond the five- and six-star resorts, though, there is a plethora of options.

THE BEST BEACHES
The Maldives, a series of 1,200 islands in the Indian Ocean, is one of the world's most quiet, romantic, and breathtakingly beautiful locations. The islands are organised into atolls depending on their closeness to different coral reefs, and tranquil, azure-coloured lagoons surround them. These calm seas are ideal for those romantic overwater bungalows that have become associated with the island, and the coral reefs make it a popular snorkelling destination. The Maldives beaches, of course, are the last component of this exquisite holiday location, with many of them being immaculate, white-sand lengths where visitors may spend long days luxuriating. Keeping this in mind, these are the top 7 beaches in the Maldives.
