Tucked away in the middle of the Indian Ocean, the Maldives are a tropical marvel.. The majority of the Maldivian population resides in the Central maldives region, meaning these atolls host the largest number of resorts. However, with an exclusive “one-resort-per-island” system, visitors often feel like they have landed on a private, deserted paradise.
Life here is stripped to a relaxing simplicity. The lagoons are like bathwater, providing the perfect setting for snorkeling and diving—often just steps away from an over-water bungalow. Ideal for a romantic escape, the central region is the country’s most accessible. Some of the most sophisticated resorts are only a speedboat or seaplane distance away from the main airport in Male. This proximity between the atolls also makes for an impeccable sunset cruise.
