About Maldives
The Maldives represents paradise distilled—1,190 coral islands scattered across the Indian Ocean. Only 200 are inhabited. Overwater bungalows with glass floors reveal a vibrant underwater world. Turquoise lagoons are home to manta rays, sea turtles, and colorful fish. The reefs are some of the world's most pristine. Diving and snorkeling are phenomenal year-round. Resorts range from ultra-luxury to budget-friendly. Uninhabited islands invite complete solitude. The Maldives offers escapism, but global warming threatens its existence—visit soon to witness this fragile paradise.
