Maldives Attractions

Maldives best beaches:

• Accessible by air in just 15 minutes from Male, Veligandu Island has one of the best beaches in the Maldives. The breathtaking flight takes passengers directly to the beach.
• Rethi Rah's beach is perhaps is one of the popular beaches in Maldives for family holidays.
• The South Ari Atoll feature some of the best sand in the Maldives.
• Ari Atol provides some of the most luxury hotels in the Maldives, it is one of the biggest atolls and is located in the west of the archipelago.

Maldives watersports:

• Many islands feature a professional PADI diving school and you are never far away from the nearest dive site.
• The water off each island is pretty shallow, and the sea is crystal clear.
• 'House Reefs' are often located just off the beach, so snorkelling among the coral walls and marine life couldn't be easier.
• Sea-life found on snorkelling, diving and boat trips include rays, turtles and reef sharks.
• So not to damage the coral life, it is recommended to take a kayak out to the water - just mind your paddle!
• Cocoa Island offers one of the best diving sites in the Maldives and has its own dive centre and private house reef. Catamaran sailing, snorkel safaris, fishing and island hopping are available too.

Maldives shopping:

• Other than heading to the capital of the Maldives, Male, shopping is limited. Who holidays in the Maldives to shop anyway?
• The retail street of Chandanee Magu in Male is the place to go to make electronics purchases alongside essential dive equipment.
