Maldives Resorts

Maldives resorts are each allocated a self contained island of their own,  accessible by boat or chartered flight, and set apart from the mainland for many reasons including the preservation of the indigenous people and sheltering them from tourism. The Maldives islands are a collection of protrusions from an underwater mountain range which has created beautiful sandy beaches rich with lush vegetation and surrounded almost entirely by coral reefs, and abundant in colourful sea life. This unique location is world famous for its spectacular views and the experiences to be gained.

This collection of Indian Ocean islands consists of just over 1,000 islands, 89 of these islands are dedicated to various resorts, another of them contains the capital city, Malé where you will find the airport and all the administration centres for all the islands. Malé is practically bursting at the seams with various land reclamation projects on the go in an attempt to expand the city.

A large number of the islands are not populated at all, while some of them belong solely to the local residents of the Maldives. These islands do not accommodate tourists, and thus, allowing the locals to get on with their daily routine.
