The Maldives is a group of around 1190 coral islands consisting of 26 Atoll formations in the Indian Ocean, located about 500 km from the southern tips of Sri Lanka and India. It is an exotic tropical paradise with each resort set on its own island, perfect for the sun lover, the surfer, the diver, honeymooners and those who desire peace in its deepest meaning.
Scattered across the equator in the middle of the Indian Ocean, the gem like islands of the Maldives depict the rare vision of a tropical paradise with their sparkling white palm fringed beaches, turquoise lagoons, clear warm waters and coral reefs, providing some of the best diving locations in the world. In the 2009 Condé Nast Readers Travel Awards the Maldives were voted in the top 3 favourite island destinations world-wide.
