Anywhere that you choose to go in the magical Maldives is going to be spectacular with white powdery beaches, dazzling turquoise waters and lush tropical foliage. The more than a 1000 islands and reefs that make up this archipelago are grouped into 26 naturally occurring atolls, not all of them inhabited or inhabitable. Your luxury resort is set on its own island surrounded by translucent lagoons and unspoilt reefs teeming with multi-coloured tropical fish.
Many of these luxury resorts are found in the central atolls close to the main Malé atoll which is the capital of the Maldives. With exotic island names such as Madivaru and Rheeti Rah in the northern part of the Ari atoll promising unforgettable island adventures of big game fishing, snorkelling and romantic sunset cruises you will never regret your choice of destination.
Gourmet dining and outstanding luxuries await you on Halaveli, also in the northern part of the Ari atoll and to the south on Moofushi, family-friendly upmarket villas and access to fantastic diving opportunities at the world’s best sites. On one of the larger islands in the south Ari atoll is Dhidhoofinolhu, home to Diva Maldives that promises a romantic escapade that will have you returning to the Maldives again and again.
Whichever luxury resort option you decide on in this paradisiacal destination know that you will enjoy superlative service and outstanding hospitality while creating memories that will last a lifetime.
The Worlds’ Best Diving Sites
The unspoilt coral reefs that protect most of the islands in the Maldives are home to a staggering amount of marine life and it is this that sets the Maldives apart from other diving destinations. You can drift through channels between the atolls and caves, caverns and overhangs passing a multitude of smaller tropical fish but also snappers, barracuda, moray eels, manta rays and whale sharks.
Picnic on a sandbar
Do something different while staying at the Maldives’ luxury resorts and book for a gourmet picnic on a sandbank. You will be dropped off by sailboat to enjoy a few hours of complete privacy surrounded by the beautiful Laccadive Sea before being collected and taken back to your island paradise.
Night fishing in a dhoni
Try your luck catching yellow-fin tuna and other big fish while night sailing on the beautiful traditional, wooden dhoni yachts. Accompanied by experienced local fishermen, this is one story that you won’t need to embroider!
