About the Maldives

Any holiday to the Maldives oozes luxury, whether you are staying in a rustic thatched ocean cottage resting on stilts above a lagoon or at one of country's many five star, private resorts. 

Many visitors to the Maldives combine days spent on this paradise isle with ten days exploring India or Sri Lanka, both just short flights away. 

The formula in the Maldives couldn’t be simpler. This is life stripped back to basics: no distractions, no culture shock to contend with or shopping to quicken the pulse. Just sublime sea water, pristine sand, blissfully blue skies, gently swaying palm trees and coral reefs filled with kaleidoscopic fish – quite literally on your doorstep. 

The best time to visit the Maldives is between November and April, when days are long and dry but year-round, the country guarantees to take your breath away.
