The Maldives
Simply hearing the name of the Maldives creates visions in the mind of beautiful, soft sand beaches lined with tall coconut trees overlooking idyllic turquoise lagoons. Tourism is the number 1 economic activity in this Indian Ocean chain of atolls.
The Maldives attracts couples looking for romantic luxury vacations, families on beach holidays, and scuba divers seeking to explore the extraordinary underwater world and its myriad inhabitants. The currents flowing through the channels bring the food that explains the profusion of life with vast schools of fish, sharks and rays.
