Maldives

The ultimate Indian Ocean overwater escape.

Overview

The Maldives — 1,200 coral islands across 26 atolls — is synonymous with overwater bungalows, gin-clear lagoons, and some of the world's finest snorkelling and diving. Manta rays, whale sharks, and sea turtles are routine sightings; dolphin pods race speedboats between islands.

Who it's for

Honeymooners, divers, snorkellers, and luxury travellers seeking total seclusion.

Best time to visit

November to April (dry season). Best snorkelling and diving conditions, calm lagoons.

  • Dolphin Cruise

  • House Reef Snorkelling
