Picture this – A private island with only the most luxurious resort you’ve stayed in, surrounded by cool, blue water of the Indian Ocean and nothing but the gentle sound of the waves to soothe you. Sounds too good to be true? In Maldives, this is possible and more! It is of little wonder why Maldives is becoming a hot favourite when it comes to luxury beach holidays. However, some years ago, it did not enjoy the same status as it does today. With only a few popular hotel chains having a property or two on one of its many islands, Maldives were sought after by only a select few who saw the appeal of a country entirely made up of a collection of islands. As other tropical destinations started getting more crowded every holiday season, the need to invest in a similar alternative location compelled some luxury hotel chains to build out-of-the-world resorts occupying entire islands in Maldives. Thus, turning the country into a hotspot for holiday tourism. So, what is it about Maldives that is so appealing that holidaymakers are ready to spend a sizable amount of money on a holiday to Maldives?

Depending on what you want out of your Maldives holiday, you can choose to reside or visit an island in the country.
