Beach holidays in Maldives

Stunning Maldives beach holiday.
 

Sunbathe on silky soft sand on beach holidays in The Maldives or seek out the shade of coconut palms. A snorkel is essential for spending beach holidays in The Maldives floating over transparent shallows in the lagoon and looking out for manta rays basking underwater.

Secluded beaches in The Maldives

Chase solitude on a Maldives beach holiday by sailing to deserted sand spits to picnic and swim. Wade across the limpid lagoon surrounding Sunrise Island to stretch out on empty beaches on holiday in The Maldives, or sail a boat to remote lagoons in Mulaku Atoll in the southern archipelago.

Sporty beaches in The Maldives

Get wet on your beach holiday in The Maldives and water ski, jet ski, wakeboard or ride a banana. Snorkellers comb reefs throughout the archipelago and divers book beach holidays in The Maldives to visit wrecks or drift dives in the southern atolls. Surfers head to Pasta Point in North Malé Atoll to catch some breaks.

Family beaches in The Maldives

Beach holidays in The Maldives are perfect for kids; the islands are surrounded by shallow, clear lagoons and gentle waves lapping the beach. Spend Maldives holidays escaping the midday sun under a palm tree while older kids snorkel safely in the lagoon, spotting shoals of angelfish flashing in the warm waters.

Party beaches in The Maldives

Nightlife on beach holidays in The Maldives is low key and resort-based. Barbecue, dress up for cocktails, dine à deux under the stars or tap your feet to the occasional band at your Maldives hotel. Visit Malé to join the nightly parade of socialites along the waterfront.
