tropical paradise

When you think ‘tropical paradise’, that image in your mind’s eye is the archipelago of islands that makes the Maldives. This is a country where paddle boarding and massages, private dining and island hopping, dolphin spotting and sunset cruises, could all become part of your daily existence.

As soon as you step off the speedboat or seaplane from the capital Male, the sea is the thread that connects every moment. Whichever of the 1,200 islands you find yourself on, you will discover the softest sand you’ve ever felt, and dazzling turquoise waters that are almost unbelievable.

While the Maldives is a quintessential honeymoon destination and adult only retreats, it is also a perfect spot for once-in-a-lifetime family holidays. Family villas with private pools, kids clubs with a difference, and evening outdoor cinema or stargazing activities mean the Maldives is genuinely family friendly, and everyone can have an exceptional experience in this incredible setting.
