1. Find yourself on land, in the middle of the ocean
Be Robinson Crusoe for the duration of your stay on a small tropical island. Dream as you take in the sunset from the beach. Bathe in the turquoise waters, surrounded by a massive lagoon – and enjoy the beautiful sense of being alone in the world. This is just one example of what the Maldives have to offer: discover the isolation and peace of the islands and benefit from the opportunity to take some time for yourself and take your mind off everything. Take in a magical view worthy of dreams, cut off from the world, in the middle of the Indian ocean.
2. Swim in one of the world's most stunning lagoons.
As soon as you arrive on a beach in the Maldives, you will be captivated by the beautiful surroundings and magical colours of the ocean. It creates a truly unreal impression – a show that is sometimes difficult to put into words. You will get a sense of space, of the ocean's infinity beneath you and take in the hundreds of different shades of blue as well as incomparable landscapes that you just won't see anywhere else. You're bound to struggle for adjectives to describe this archipelago, which will no doubt be one of the lasting impressions of your holiday.
3. Discover the incredible marine life
You don't need to swim for long in the Maldives before you find yourself face-to-face with a clownfish! You might just be steps away from finding yourself surrounded by a great number of tropical fish. You're sure to be dazzled by the pureness and diversity of the Maldives' seabeds. Marine life is all around you and the corals tend to be very well preserved. Scuba diving, or even just snorkelling, always proves an incredible experience: nature lovers will simply be enchanted.
4. Wake up with the ocean at your feet
Who hasn't dreamed of waking up in a house on stilts, opening the window and being able to dive straight into the Indian ocean's turquoise waters? When in the Maldives, just take your time and enjoy relaxing and dreaming on the beach. Enjoy some special moments unaware of the passing over time, forgetting your day-to-day problems, however small. Perhaps this is the definition of luxury!
5. Pick a romantic destination
The Maldives have always attracted romantics from the world over, who come to make the most of the magnificent beaches and enchanting surroundings. This is the ideal destination for those who want to come together and share a unique moment, for example their honeymoon. This is the ideal destination for those couples looking to gaze through the window of their hotel and daydream, share their first scuba dive or just wander along the beach at sunset.
