Luxury Maldives Holidays And Honeymoons

by David jenkins

Like a string of pearls scattered in the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, the Maldives Islands are a series of coral atolls built up from the crowns of a submerged ancient volcanic mountain range.

The Maldives are situated just 550 kilometres from the mainland of India and 600 kilometres southwest of Sri Lanka. Probably closer to paradise than anywhere else in the world, the Maldives Islands are perfect for exotic honeymoons and “get away from it all” luxury holidays.

The Maldives are an independent island nation consisting of a chain of about 1,200 small coral islands and sandbanks about 80 of which are currently self contained island resorts offering romantic Maldives holidays and honeymoons.

With average daily temperatures of between 28 and 32 degrees centigrade and year round sunshine, there is not really a bad time of year to visit these beautiful islands. However, to avoid any rainfall the best months to visit tend to be between November and March with higher humidity and some rainfall between April and October.

Each of the resorts in the Maldives varies in size from between 1 acre and 100 acres and is unique in their facilities and amenities. All the islands are surrounded by the most beautiful beaches on Earth and most have lagoons and house reefs with warm crystal blue waters, providing some great diving and snorkelling opportunities.

The Maldives Islands vary greatly in size, standards and facilities with some of the more sophisticated resorts offering swimming pools, entertainment, luxury spas and a wider choice of cuisine and accommodation. Whilst some of the smaller islands still retain the “no news, no shoes” feel traditionally associated with Maldives holidays and honeymoons.
