Discover the Maldives
Sky above. Sea below. Bliss all over.
When it comes to getting away from it all, there are beach holidays, and then there’s the Maldives. The turquoise water too clear to be true. Silky white sand stretching as far as the eye can see. And luxurious over-water villas just perfect for curling up with a cocktail and watching the sun go down. We've all seen the photos. But no Insta-filter or image search comes even close to capturing the real-life picture-perfect panoramas in these paradise islands just south of Sri Lanka.
A favourite with honeymooners, there’s nowhere else in the world quite like it for a romantic break to reset - cocooned like conches in your own private bubble of bliss.
Snorkel, fish, dive...or just float.
The nation is made up of 1200 coral islands, so be sure to grab a snorkel and take to the water to explore the world beneath the horizon.
Experience world-class diving, surfing, fishing, kayaking and more.
A kick of coconut.
As you'd expect, Maldivian food is a bubbling cauldron of flavours from India, Sri Lanka and Arabia, with a kick of coconut and spice to bring up the heat..
Wander through Male’s street markets and savour the flavours on offer, or dine in style on the balcony of your water bunglow.
