Where are the Maldives?
The Maldives is on the equator southwest of Sri Lanka and is made up of 1190 coral islands, forming an archipelago of 26 major atolls. The island chain stretches 820 km from north to south, and 120 km from east to west. A tropical island paradise scattered over the deep blue Indian Ocean. Sunshine, beaches and a thousand islands, lagoons and reefs perfect for surfing and diving. A perfect natural combination for the ideal tropical holiday. Resort Islands in Maldives are self contained – they have their own power, water, telecommunication, food outlets, transportation, storage and other facilities which are essential to sustain a small town – these facilities are of international standards. Therefore, the guest has no excess to other Islands for the entire stay unless he/she wishes to take a boat ride to the neighboring resort/island for some reason.
