Maldives Hotels Accommodation

Sun drenched isles with powdery white sand and lush foliage dripping in emerald greenery, tenderly embraced by crystal clear sparkling azure waters with the perfect all-year round sunny climate... This is Heaven on Earth! The magnificent archipelago of the Maldives are famous throughout the world as a premier island holiday destination and welcomes scores of eager tourists from every corner of the globe each year. The <>Maldives are made up of 26 atolls that have a combined total of nearly 1200 islands between them. With its closest neighbours being India and Sri Lanka, a holiday to the Maldives features frothy white beaches with crystal clear water and sugar soft sand not to mention luscious green vegetation and foliage – it is then no surprise that vacations here are often described as visiting the Garden of Eden. Holidaymakers are indeed spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing where they want to enjoy their vacation sojourn and what they want to experience during their trip. Like many of the atolls that make up the dreamy archipelago of the Maldives, the South Male Atoll is blessed with scintillating natural scenery that constantly rivets and mesmerises all those privileged to visit its hallowed shores. The South Male Atoll boasts an immaculate stretch of beaches and lagoons that are indeed the envy of the other atolls in the archipelago; in fact, many travellers and residents proudly proclaim that the beaches of the South Male are amongst the finest the Maldives have to offer. Unlike its sibling the North Male Atoll, the South Male Atoll is less crowded and more private. Its seclusion makes it the ultimate island getaway; perfect for those visitors that need optimum relaxation conditions. The capital of the Maldives, Male and its international airport of Hulhule is located at the southern end of the North Male Atoll. A popular travelling pastime is to go on an island-hop and the North Male Atoll is indeed a terrific disembarkation point from which to enjoy such an excursion. Because of its enthralling underwater kingdom, the main water-related activities are undoubtedly scuba diving and snorkelling. This magnificent and glorious ‘submerged aquarium’ is filled with stunning sights including bright corals, multi-coloured fish, and even the occasional ship wreck, not to mention a captivating array of marine creatures that includes eels, sting rays, reef sharks, sea turtles and tortoises, mantas, octopus, and many other wonders. Snorkelling and scuba diving are well catered for by the many resorts in the archipelago and such excursions tend to be very rewarding. There are many other water sports on offer while sojourning through the Maldives. Surfing is a popular option as the waves around a number of the atolls are nothing short of superb, while other fun-filled activities include glass-boat trips, catamaran expeditions, wake boarding, kite surfing, jet and water skiing, banana boating, and parasailing. Big game fishing in the Maldives is extremely sought after, while holidaymakers can also enjoy dolphin and whale watching aboard specially tailored cruise ships.
