Overview

Holidays in The Maldives introduce you to a world of paradise beaches, the gentle lapping of waves and swaying palm trees. Organise boat trips to sand spits in the Indian Ocean or spend holidays sampling The Maldives’ spicy cuisine in the teashops of capital city Malé.

Holidays in The Maldives: regions

In the atolls of The Maldives archipelago, holidays are all about the sun and the sea. Catch a seaplane south to the lagoon and outlying reefs at Ari Atoll, or spend diving holidays in The Maldives’ popular dive spots off Felidhoo Atoll. The Maldives’ northern atolls offer the classic desert-island experience.

Sightseeing on holidays in The Maldives

Book a day-trip to Malé on holiday in The Maldives to visit the Islamic Centre and the 17th-century Hukuru Miskiiy, The Maldives’ oldest mosque. Football games are played at the National Stadium, and a cool sea breeze accompanies The Maldives’ striking sunsets from Marine Drive.

Outdoor holidays in The Maldives

Take up sea fishing on holidays in The Maldives or grab a snorkel to discover a new world below the waves. Spend sun-drenched Maldives holidays learning to sail or island-hop around the atolls of North and South Malé. Scuba courses are your key to unlocking the deep-sea world of The Maldives' reefs. For something more laid-back on holiday in The Maldives, the clear blue waters of the Indian Ocean offer endless bathing opportunities.

Foodie holidays in The Maldives

Holidaying in The Maldives offers you gourmet international cuisines at beachside hotel restaurants. Head to Malé’s traditional hotaa teashops to sample hedhikaa, The Maldives’ version of dim sum, and to taste fiery Maldives curried fish.
