maldives map

The Maldives lie scattered like a string of pearls straddling the equator about 450 miles south west of Sri Lanka, occupying 90,000 square kilometres in the beautiful turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean.
More information >>

Home to the famous stilted huts, the islands offer some of the world's finest luxury accommodation, making them an ideal secluded haven for couples.

Only 1 per cent of the country consists of land Ð the other 99% is sea. 1190 tropical islands make up the 26 atolls, ring-like coral formations enclosing a lagoon, giving the Maldives their unique appearance, making them one of the most popular diving areas in the world.

They stretch for about 500 miles from north to south, 81 miles at the widest point and do not exceed a length of 5 miles or an altitude of 6 feet above sea level. No more than 200 miles are inhabited, the rest include the 90 plus exclusive tourist resorts, each providing a very much 'away from it all' experience ranging from 5-star luxury to comfortable, relaxing accommodation, all with excellent service and superb dining, the seafood in particular.

Additionally there are a number of uninhabited islands, some of which are used for agriculture and fishing activities. The atolls of the Maldives are formed from coral structures, separated by lagoons.

A proud history and culture has evolved from the first settlers. There are Arabic, African and South Asian influences, due to the geographical location and this is evident in the music and the local cuisine. Astonishingly, over 50% of the population are under 15 years of age.

Maldivians are friendly, hospitable and peace-loving people who have been dependent on the sea for food and survival since time immemorial. The people of the islands are self-sufficient and lead a simple life of co-existence. The small island communities are tight-knit and friendship prevails strongly amongst them.

For visitors, dress is generally casual. T-shirts and cotton clothing are most suitable. In MalZ it is recommended that women wear modest clothing wherever possible. Importation of alcohol is strictly forbidden under local Islamic law with any duty free purchases being confiscated up»on arrival. However, alcoholic beverages are available on resort.
