Maldives

Maldives

The Maldives consists of hundreds of paradisiacal islands and coral atolls and are situated off the coasts of Southern Asia's India and Sri Lanka. The majority of these islands are uninhabited, but those that are populated feature either sleepy local settlements surrounded by pristine beaches or first rate international seaside resort hotels.

Snorkeling is almost a national pastime in the Maldives and, although all of the islands' beaches feature sparkling white sand and seas of the purest sapphire blue, there are several resorts and beaches in the Maldives that deserve further inspection. o­ne of these is the Nika Island Resort, which is located about 74km away from the country's capital at Male and which lies o­n an enchanting lagoon. Apart from snorkeling, visitors can also enjoy such diverse water activities as windsurfing, sunset fishing and canoeing.
