If you’ve ever dreamed of escaping from everything and everyone, the Maldives is your answer. An archipelago of about 1200 coral islands and 26 atolls, is the ultimate postcard destination and an epitome of leisure.
From pristine alabaster white sandy beaches, the crystalline turquoise blue Indian Ocean, swaying palm trees, picture-perfect private villas suspended over striking blue waters to spectacular sunsets dipping into the horizon – the Maldives is the ultimate dream of luxury and tranquillity.
The scenic beauty of the Maldives is something to behold, something you can’t quite understand until you’re there in person.
Here is why the Maldives should be on your travel bucket list.
Vibrant Marine Life
The Maldives is world-famous for its amazing myriad of marine life, with over 2,000 species of fish, ranging from colourful reef fish to the Blacktip reef shark, and a wide variety of rays: manta ray, stingray, and eagle ray.
Considered to be one of the best snorkeling / diving locations in the world, the Maldives archipelago offers an amazing diversity of sealife and it almost feels like swimming in a giant aquarium.
If you opt for a water villa you will be spoilt with the colourful corals and rich marine life right at your doorstep. The best thing about staying in the Maldives lagoons is that you don’t even have to get your hair wet to experience breathtaking beauty of the underwater world.
Spectacular Sunsets
There is no other way to describe the sunsets of the Maldives but magnificent. The evening is the time when everything seems to stop in the Maldives for a few moments when mesmerizing skies come alive with infinite colours.
You haven’t seen the perfect sunset until you’ve seen a sunset in the Maldives, painted with shades of gold, orange, red, pink, and purple you didn’t even know existed.
Pristine Beaches
The Maldives is known to have some of the world’s most beautiful beaches and there’s no fighting for a spot of sand on these secluded islands.
The picture-perfect clear lagoons and palm-fringed clean white as flour sands really have to be seen to be believed.
Breathtaking natural surroundings
Each of the Maldivian islands is located in the heart of the Indian Ocean and offers some remarkable heart-stopping views.
This tropical paradise is well known for its picturesque beaches with sparkling soft white sand, beautiful azure sea, and impossibly clear skies.
Wherever you look, every single angle seems to be ideal for taking picture-perfect postcard-worthy photos.
Privacy and Seclusion – one island one resort
Each resort is a private enclave perched on an individual island, providing its occupants with exclusive tranquillity.
Imagine waking in your private villa, surrounded by swaying palm trees, azure blue sea and pristine soft white sand every day – yes this is the Maldives for you!
Ultimate romantic getaway
The Maldives islands are the ultimate romantic destination, isolated and intimate, with all of the luxury amenities you could dream of.
From movies under the sky full of stars, intimate meals on a dreamy sandbank, couples massage, rose petal baths to under water dining with the best chefs attending culinary requests, the islands can make any dream come true.
The options are literally endless and the romantic ambience is perfect to commemorate the journey of love whether you’re gathering to toast to a milestone moment or just celebrating life itself.
Unparalleled Luxury
Most of the resorts in the Maldives are incredibly upscale and luxurious.
From the moment you arrive at Male Airport, resort representatives will be there to escort you to your luxury speedboat or seaplane. This is where your fuss-free vacation begins.
From the top-notch personalized butler service, private villas suspended over striking blue waters, private infinity pools, Michelin star food quality, hand picked experiences by a professional team to dining on a private sandbank, you will enjoy unrivalled luxury and pampering.
The Maldives is a feast for all your senses!
Elegant Dining
If you are treating yourself to a stay in a luxurious resort, you can expect divine a la carte dining with exquisite cooking from all over the world.
At the crossroads of Asia, India and Africa, you’ll find a huge array of international cuisine on offer, from Japanese teppanyaki to gourmet Italian, so there will always be something to float your boat.
One definitely can’t leave Maldives without sampling the delicious Maldivian crabs and fresh seafood!
Glorious weather
The islands are a great destination for some much-needed sun with temperatures remaining wonderfully warm between 25 and 30C throughout the year.
April tends to be the hottest month and, if you want to avoid the chance of rain, visit between December and April.
There’s an average of 8 hours of sunshine every day and the water temperature barely falls below 25°C.
Perfect Place to Unwind and Relax
Undoubtedly among the best reasons to visit the Maldives is the laid-back time enjoying the sea breeze and the sound of the waves in constant 25-30-degree centigrade temperature.
Away from busy city life the Maldives is where time stands still.
Absolutely stunning photos! We went to the Maldives for New Year, and had the most amazing time! I would definitely go back.

Hi Krissi,
The Maldives are super amazing, pure perfection.
Actually it’s much cheaper at the moment with a lot of resorts offering fantastic discounts. We secured a deal with Secret Escapes on Taj Exotica around 60% the price. Definitely worth checking this out before prices will go back to normal Xx
Love Maldives! It is such an amazing place. Your pictures are incredible!

Same here Kathrine however Bora Bora may be a bit too far for us to travel. The Maldives were amazing! I really enjoyed the weather, food, super friendly Maldivians and yes overwater villas are stunning! The marine life is incredible, you just can’t beat the view of a passing stingray while eating a breakfast!
Wow! this was a treat for my eyes this morning. Such a beautiful place. You clearly had an amazing time and the pictures prove just that!
I hope you have an amazing week ahead : ) xo
