Resorts in the Maldives woo tourist with promises of 'the last paradise on earth'. If your idea of paradise is a pristine, tranquil tropical island with swaying palm trees, pure white beaches and brilliant turquoise lagoons, then the Maldives won't disappoint.

Lying off the southern tip of India, the slender chain of coral islands known as the Maldives are strewn like a magical necklace across the shimmering azure waters of the Indian Ocean.

None of the islands are over 4 metres above sea level and less than 1% of the whole country is land! Some islands are no more than uninhabited sandbars peeping just above the waterline and embraced by brilliant blue lagoons.

Only a few have been developed to offer some of the most breathtaking exclusive hideaways. Here you will enter a world of pure escapism, a world where time stands still in a land of powdery white sand and aquamarine lagoons that offer some of the best snorkelling and diving opportunities on the planet.
