Maldives
Situated in the Indian Ocean roughly 750 kilometers (465 miles) from the Asian mainland, Maldives is an archipelago with more than a thousand splendid islands and the 26 coral atolls.
The ultimate dream of pleasure and tranquility, the islands’ crystalline turquoise waters, swaying palms, powdery white sand beaches and breathtaking coral reefs combine to create an otherworldly experience. Each resort in the Maldives is nestled on its own private island and is featured by all the most exclusive hotel brands in the world, competing with each other to offer its guests an even higher level of unprecedented luxury and safety.
The best time to visit the Maldives is between January and April. These are the driest months with little rain and low humidity, making this peak season at the resorts. Temperatures are still warm from May to December, but rain is more likely and there is a risk of storms. However even during this period there are usually long spells of bright sunshine, so enticing prices and fewer visitors make for compelling reasons to consider the off-season.
The Maldives are easily accessible from Europe and Asia via the Malé International Airport (MLE), which is less commonly referred to as Velena International Airport. Upon arrival in Malé, the nation’s capital, you will then need to take a sea plane or a speed boat to reach your final destination. The trip can range from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the location of your resort.
