Like a string of beautiful pearls scattered in the crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean, the Maldives are a series of coral atolls built up from the peaks of a an ancient volcanic mountain range.

The Maldives are situated just 550 kilometres from the mainland of India and 600 kilometres southwest of Sri Lanka. Probably closer to paradise than anywhere else in the world, the Maldives Islands are perfect for exotic honeymoons and “get away from it all” luxury holidays.

The Maldives Islands are a nation consisting of a chain of about twelve hundred small islands and sandbanks, about eighty of which are self contained resorts offering exotic Maldives holidays and romantic honeymoons.

The Maldives Islands are generally warm and humid with year round sunshine and average temperatures of between 29C and 32C. The best time of year for Maldives holidays and honeymoons is between December and April with slightly higher humidity and rainfall between May and October.

The Maldives Islands varies in size from 1 acre to 100 acres and are unique in their character and facilities. All the islands are surrounded by the finest white sand beaches and warm crystal blue waters offering unparalleled diving and snorkelling opportunities.

The Maldives Islands vary greatly in size, standards and facilities with some of the more sophisticated resorts offering swimming pools, entertainment, luxury spas and a wider choice of cuisine and accommodation. Whilst some of the smaller islands still retain the “no news, no shoes” feel traditionally associated with Maldives holidays and honeymoons.
