The Maldives is an Indian Ocean island nation famous for white-sand beaches, turquoise lagoons and coral reefs. Its many atolls offer everything from private resort islands to local-island guesthouses, with popular activities including snorkelling, diving, water sports, dolphin cruises and relaxed beach holidays. The country is divided into a chain of atolls, with North and South Male Atolls offering easy airport access and areas such as Baa, Ari, Raa, Noonu, Lhaviyani and Dhaalu providing more remote experiences. Travellers can choose between private resorts and inhabited local islands, then explore reefs, sandbanks, lagoons and marine-life sites by boat.
