Maldives Hotels

Famed for its rare underwater beauty, the Republic of Maldives has gained immense popularity as a diving destination with its abundance and variety of underwater life. All resorts in the Maldives have professional diving schools, often with multilingual instructors. With very few exceptions, almost all resort islands have a "house reef" literally a stone’s throw away, allowing for convenient day and night dives all year round.

Maldives is a republic of some 1,190 islands spread over 26 atolls. Only about 200 of these islands are inhabited by Maldivians; the rest are so-called ‘uninhabited’ islands, some of which house the country's 87 tourist resorts, while others are used for fishing and agriculture.

The capital, Malé, the seat of government and center of trade, business, commerce, health care and education, is situated in the middle of the fascinating atoll formation that is Maldives.

The Maldivian climate is tropical, with warm temperatures and bright sunshine all year round. Situated in the Equatorial belt, it rarely sees severe storms or cyclones.
