Maldives

Holidays in Maldives. Most people taking a holiday in the Maldives are expecting a destination synonymous with luxury, romance and tropical bliss and they will not be disappointed. A breathtaking string of low-lying coral islands in the Indian Ocean just off the southern coast of India, and a paradise for watersports enthusiasts and sun seekers alike. The past two decades have seen the islands develop into a popular long-haul dream destination.

The country is made up of 26 natural atolls that offer nautical delights from night-fishing trips, windsurfing and scuba-diving. Many islands embrace enormous lagoons, where bright blue-green water laps gently on brilliant white sand beaches.

Yet even in paradise trouble can bubble beneath the surface. It is precisely because the Maldives is so low-lying (80% of the territory is less than 1m/3.3ft above sea level), so transparent and perfect for snorkelling, that their very existence is threatened by global warming. They are also particularly vulnerable to natural catastrophes, as shown in the devastating tsunami on 26 December 2004: of the Maldives' 199 inhabited islands, 20 were completely destroyed.
