With almost 2,000 islands scattered across 90,000 kilometers of the Indian Ocean, Maldives is one of the world’s most beautiful and fascinating archipelagoes. The tiny islands are surrounded by a pristine sea that is home to some of the most breathtaking sand beaches and some of the best diving spots in the world.
Whether you’re looking for an adventure, to escape the stresses of everyday life or just to unwind, Maldives is the perfect destination for all. The country’s capital city of Male is known for its white sand beaches, crystal clear waters and some of the most luxurious resorts in the world.
There’s no better way to get a true sense of the Maldives than to go on a scenic flight over the islands. These are often a short float plane ride away from the resorts but you’ll be rewarded with views of miles and miles of white sand beaches, turquoise water, palm trees, coral reefs and some of the most stunning sunsets you’ve ever seen.
Maldivian Cuisine: Delicious and Authentic
The Maldives is famous for its local cuisine, which is a blend of Arabic, Indian, Sri Lankan and oriental flavours. From freshly caught fish to fragrant curries and zesty soups, the cuisine is sure to please everyone in your party.
Food is an important part of the culture in the Maldives, and it’s not just served at restaurants or in a hotel – you can also try it out on your own. Guests in guest houses on local islands will be more than happy to share a traditional meal with you, or simply enjoy a chat over a cup of tea at a small cafe while you eat – a great way to get a real feel for the Maldives.
