Smallest Asian country in area and population, the Republic of Maldives is an archipelago of 1,192 coral islands in the Indian Ocean, spread over an area of 90,000 square kilometers and grouped into 26 atolls. About 200 islands are inhabited and another 80 are resorts, some of the most exclusive and remote on the planet.
Combining quality hospitality with paradisiacal, unique and sophisticated scenery, it is the perfect destination for a romantic and dynamic trip, unfortunately under the growing threat of global rising sea levels. Despite the reputation of being a fancy destination for honeymooners, most resorts have excellent facilities for family travel and gladly receive all age groups without any restrictions.
