Beautiful white sandy beaches and an amazing underwater world make the Maldives one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world. The Maldives consists of 1,200 islands and each island is picture perfect.
The beaches here are whiter than white and almost nowhere in the world can you find clearer blue water than here. This alone should be enough to visit this paradise in the sea. In addition, the underwater world is among the most beautiful in the world. And you will find all of this on small, tropical islands where you can really unwind.
Maldives Local Islands
It has recently become possible to travel between the various islands with local transport (the ferry) and to mingle with the friendly locals. With the rise of guesthouses on inhabited islands, the island group is easier to discover than ever.
The Maldives are tropical islands in the best sense of the word. The government is doing a lot to keep the islands the way they are. For example, they do not allow high-rise buildings and due to the limited influence of the “outside world”, the Maldives is truly a world apart.
As soon as you set foot here you will be overwhelmed by the impressive beauty and friendly people. It is a country with extremes; there are islands with the most luxurious resorts in the world and islands with simple guesthoues.
