You have heard all the cliches about the Maldives - how the country is a paradise on earth, how the beaches are absolutely stunning, and how diving here is some of the best things to do. And the fact is that cliches exist for a reason because they are all true. The Maldives lies off the southwest of India. There is a string of islands, commonly known as atolls and there are almost 1200 of them. The government has been careful to preserve the beauty of these islands, so you won't find high-rises or any traffic there - just stretches of endless fine white sand beaches and seclusion. But that's not it, you can find another kind of serenity if you go diving - the main attraction of the Maldives. The Maldives sits on an underwater mountain range that rises from the depths of the ocean, and the mountain range is the base for the Maldives' coral reefs.
There are more than 70 resort islands in the Maldives. North Male, South Male and Ari Atoll are closest to the capital, Male, and are quite popular amongst tourists. While these are some of the most visited areas in the Maldives, there are more atolls in the Maldives that boasts phenomenal all-inclusive resorts, which make it easy to lap up the life of luxury while enjoying gorgeous beaches and crystal-clear turquoise water.
So, if you're looking for a family-friendly resort that offers endless activities for adults and kids, alike, or an adults-only nirvana featuring private pools, water villas and romantic dinners on the beach, you're sure to find a resort that caters to your every desire.
