The Maldives has the most
beautiful tropical scenery, graceful coconut palms leaning over
crystal-clear lagoons, coral reefs promising great snorkelling and scuba
diving, and lots of sunshine.
It is believed that the word
Maldives has its origins in the ancient Sanskrit word „malodheep” which
means garland. Another school
of thought suggests it came
from the words „maldvipa” which mean a thousand islands. Either ways, this
stunning archipelago
of 1190 islands is truly a
visual feast. Whether it’s the pure white sand, brilliant turquoise
lagoons or gently swaying palms this tropical paradise is sure to enthral
your senses.
It is
also a major scuba diving destination, with enthusiasts coming from all
over the world to experience the breathtaking coral reefs and a variety of
marine flora and fauna.
Take a traditional boat the dhoni to
experience the Maldivian way of life.
