There are 1,190 islands to explore (but only 200 are inhabited). Although there are many islands to explore, most vacationers prefer to relax in a luxurious hotel. Vacationers should take time to relax, but they should also plan to do some sight-seeing. Despite its small size, MalĂ©, the Maldives’ capital and largest city, is a hive of activity, from the island’s fishing docks to its National Museum. As a scuba diver, you really must see the Shark Reef at Fish Head and the fascinating Maldives Victory shipwreck. Not to mention the beautiful beaches, where the white sands give way to colorful corals under azure seas.

Explore The Maldives Beaches

For good reason, many tourists travel to the Maldives only to unwind on the beach. Stunning blue ocean and sugar-white sand combine to provide the ideal beach holiday setting. The majority of island resorts provide their own private beaches with loungers and umbrellas. The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort, aaaVeee Resort, COMO Cocoa Island, Fihalhohi Island Resort, and Angsana Ihuru are a few resorts that have particularly lovely beaches. The beaches in the Maldives, according to previous visitors, are difficult to describe because of their unsurpassed beauty. A few Maldivian islands have public beaches, however visitors must be covered up because it is against the law to do so. Few “bikini beaches” (on Rasdhoo and Maafushi) permit visitors to wear regular bathing suits while soaking up the rays. Travelers advise staying on the beaches on or close to your island, nevertheless.
