Top reasons to Travel to the Maldives – Here’s why!

The Maldives is once in a lifetime travel destination, and with good reason too, the beauty of the beaches and accommodation is incomparable.

The Beaches

The Beaches in the Maldives are some of the most spectacular you will ever see in your lifetime. Crystal clear, turquoise blue waters, white sandy beaches, and palm trees may seem like heaven on earth. The Maldives is comprised of many islands, so picking one may seem like a task, and it is! Over 1192 islands make up the Maldivian archipelago. It spreads over 35,000 miles and 26 atolls in the Indian Ocean with only 200 populated islands, of which 80 other islands are resorts. However, only 10 atolls can be accessed by tourists. But what you will find common in most of them is the sheer beauty and tranquillity. If you ever wanted a Robinson Crusoe experience on a deserted minus the hardship well then look no further than the Maldives.

The resorts

The resorts are what makes the Maldives so incredible. Most of these constructions are built in harmony with the natural environment, it captures the beauty without ruining nature with unnecessary buildings and constructions. As some islands are so small, they can only hold a few villas, and this is perfect for those who want an ultimate getaway, such as a honeymoon. The resorts in the Maldives are perhaps some of the most luxurious you will find, and due to their location, some of the most expensive as well. However, it will be worth it for anyone and everyone who loves the beach. Some of the most famous types of accommodation include those built on the water, usually, on the lagoon of the island there is also the beach villa, on the beach itself or in the Maldives, bungalow accommodations is also a great option. If you want to do activities like snorkelling, look out for a resort with a house reef. Many resorts will offer great packages for honeymooners, so get in touch to decide which resort can provide you with the perfect getaway. You can check out places like Anantara Veli Maldives Resort as an option.
