Maldives, one of the most aquatic nations of the globe has and always been a unique country. Scattered across the Indian Ocean just about 80 – 120 kilometers wide and stretching 860 kilometers from latitude 7°6”N to 0°41”S and lying between 72°32” and 73°45”E is a perfect hideaway for holiday makers and others who enjoy the wilderness and the beauty of the tropical side of life. And this beautiful gift of nature is the home for about 270,000 natives and 1,350 different species of marine life. With only 201 inhabited islands from an approximation of 1190 islands, Maldives offers 83 different islands, tastefully and exclusively designed and constructed as accommodations for our tourists. These resorts differ in landscaping and facilities provided but the only thing common in these islands is the beauty and the charm of nature. The clear pristine waters and the sandy beaches stretching from each single island, and the green of the palm trees which gives an additional taste to the scenery. Not forgetting the gardens underneath crystal clear waters, where multicolored fish, coral and other marine life, lives in harmony providing an excellent view for the tourist with great interests of exploration.

In Maldives, all through the year we have summer, with an average temperature and rainfall of 30°C and less than 2m/annum respectively.

In Maldives, a common language known as Dhivehi is spoken. The script is as unique as the spoken language. And all Maldivians practice a common religion- Islam.
