"Ibn Batuta said - One of the wonders of the world"

Truly a natural wonder, the heights of the islands rarely reach above two metres. The 1,190 islands, consisting of 26 atoll formations, are spread over an area of 90,000 square kilometres.

The islands are surrounded by shallow crystal clear lagoons enclosed by coral reefs. The unique islands provide visitors with the most breathtaking views of of the underwater life in the world.

The islands are generally covered with dense tropical vegetation. Coconut palms towering above dense shrubs and hardy plants protecting the shores from erosion are natural features in most islands.

The nearest neighbours are India and Sri Lanka. With a population of 2,44,644 (1995 official estimate), only 199 islands are inhabited. Another 74 islands have been set aside for tourist resort development.

A resort island is a world in itself. Developed on uninhabited islands, each island is just one hotel, exclusively maintained in pristine form and serviced for only a limited number of guests. An exclusive island resort, with hundreds of virgin islands, you alone with the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. What else can you ask for?

A honeymoon in an island resort of the Maldives is an experience you will never forget. Privacy is all yours, romanticism is a way of life, and love, as they say is always "in the air". There are only a few places in the world where so much pleasure can be derived by doing nothing.
