About Maldives
If you want your Robinson Crusoe moment to include creature comforts and a side order of pampering, the Maldives are for you. On these islands it’s possible to sleep in a luxe villa over the water, dine at sunset on the beach or to float in a hammock. And, if spoiling’s about bathtub-warm seas, or watersports, that’s sorted too. Plus, there’s an impressive underwater world to swim, snorkel and scuba dive.
