A natural paradise to explore
A trip to the Maldives is about discovering a tropical paradise composed of 1,190 islands belonging to 26 coral atolls that gently stretch over 100,000 km² in the heart of the Indian Ocean. This enchanting setting offers breathtaking landscapes, with white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and rich marine biodiversity. The Maldives is a popular destination for scuba diving and snorkeling, allowing exploration of fascinating coral reefs and observation of numerous marine species. It is also an ideal place to relax in luxurious hotel resorts offering overwater bungalows with stunning ocean views.
Must-see Discoveries
The marine life of the Maldives is truly exceptional. With coral reefs, multicolored fish, rays, and hammerhead sharks, it's hard not to be amazed during a scuba dive or even just equipped with fins, mask, and snorkel. The warm water temperatures make the experience even more enjoyable.
If there is an archipelago perfect for lounging in the Indian Ocean, it is indeed the Maldives. With your feet in the water on one of the most beautiful fine sand beaches, all that's left to do is relax and refresh yourself with a good cocktail. What more could you ask for?

The Maldives: Secret and Authentic Discoveries
Fly over the archipelago by seaplane
In the Maldives, gaining altitude in a seaplane quickly brings you to cloud nine thanks to the sublime spectacle passing beneath your eyes: turquoise lagoons, white sand specks, stunning coral atolls... It leaves you speechless.
Go big-game fishing
If you've never tried big-game fishing, give it a shot in the Maldives. The clear, fish-rich waters might help you avoid coming back empty-handed! And it's a great idea to start this sport fishing in a tropical paradise. If this activity isn't your strength, you can always swim to console yourself.
The bodu beru, the traditional show not to be missed
This traditional dance and music show, performed only by men, is typical of the Maldives. Under the frenetic rhythm of the drums, the dancers and singers can fall into a sort of trance. Beautiful and impressive at the same time!
The Underwater Splendors
Despite the coral bleaching in 1998, the Maldives continue to regularly receive the highest international awards for the quality of their marine environments, which are perfect for diving. The concentration of elasmobranchs, the family that includes rays and sharks, is particularly exceptional there. The coral is coming back to life by recoloring the ocean, thus offering spectacular underwater landscapes that attract divers from all over the world.
A heavenly and safe destination
In the Maldives, there is no need to worry about security issues: attacks on travelers are an unknown concept and thefts are extremely rare, almost always attributable to inconsiderate tourists. Politically, the country enjoys good stability and the sanitary conditions are excellent. If there is anything to be wary of, it would be sunburns!
Impeccable Hotel Service
Whether you choose a budget hotel or the most exclusive one, the tourist services are excellent. The staff is generally extremely professional, pleasant, smiling, helpful, attentive, discreet, and efficient. Cleanliness is never lacking, whether on the islands or in the interior parts of the hotels. The well-practiced organization is rarely at fault. Transfers occur smoothly despite geography that doesn't aid logistics. It's ideal for a worry-free vacation.
Discover a multitude of water sports
Water sports enthusiasts will be delighted and can freely glide over the turquoise waters. Almost all lagoons offer optimal conditions for a very safe practice of aquatic activities, which can be enjoyed all year round with equal pleasure. Besides snorkeling (fins-mask-snorkel), one can engage in non-motorized sports such as canoeing-kayaking, windsurfing, catamaran sailing, as well as motorized sports like water skiing, jet skiing, or the banana boat. Surfing, kitesurfing, and wakeboarding enthusiasts will also find happiness in the Maldives, thanks to consistent waves at some exceptional sites.
