Where to go on your Maldives holiday?
One of the world’s most dispersed countries, the Maldives boasts a diverse range of atolls to visit. You can choose to base yourself on a private island for the entirety of your stay or combine a number of different atolls for a true taste of the Maldives’ otherworldly marine environment.
Families looking for ease can base their adventure in Malé Atoll, home to the bustling capital Malé and the gateway to luxury resorts and vibrant marine life. Discover North Malé Atoll’s renowned diving spots with colourful coral reefs and abundant marine life. For tranquillity, visit South Malé Atoll, offering serene resorts and excellent snorkelling.
The Baa and Raa atolls both offer unparalleled and more secluded marine environments perfect for diving and snorkel enthusiasts. Swim with manta rays and whale sharks in Hanifaru Bay or visit the underwater caverns and overhangs of the Raa atoll’s thilas. Open to divers later in the year than the more central atolls means they are a good choice for out of season travellers.
Finally, if you are a couple looking for a tranquil and romantic escape, look no further than the South Maldives. The region offers a more secluded experience compared to the northern atolls, with pristine coral reefs, clear turquoise waters, and abundant wildlife.
