Nestled at the heart of pearlescent coral atolls stretched over more than 800 kilometers, the paradisiac Maldives are the ultimate destination for luxury holidays. Embark on an eleven-hour flight towards the Indian Ocean, to uncover this hideaway stemming from a dormant volcano submerged by the sea. Amongst selected international high-standard resorts, delicate white sands and limpid pale blue waters, the tropical archipelago also preserves an impressive fauna of underwater species and multi colored corals. From a bird’s-eye-view, the contrast between lavish hotels and the pure & delicate simplicity of the white sand upon which they are built, is unbelievable.

Upon landing on the water by seaplane, be warmly greeted by a caring staff and taken to your villa on stilts, under which swim harmless baby sharks. Far from crowded beaches, the astonishing summer houses face the ocean and remain balanced while laying on a translucent water. Once your suitcases unpacked, it’s time for a first stroll while waiting for the sun to reach its zenith. Unleash your pareo, put on your mask and fins, and begin a first underwater journey where it is not unusual to see pods of dolphins, fishes and turtles. 

Awaken at dawn by the sound of waves breaking on the shore, jump aboard a dhoni - the traditional local fishing wood boat - the best choice for adventure. On the calm sea, pursue the flow by the rising tide and interfere the enchanting submarine ballet while passing by divers. 

After these outdoor adventures, your appetite may be widely open. To cool, let yourself be tempted by a fresh palm juice or Raa Veri before starting a lovingly prepared culinary feast. Taste some short-eats - a sort of maldivian tapas stuffed with tuna, potato, pepper and lime - before tackling substantial local dishes as Kuli Baoakiba, Mirhuhulee Boava or Bondi bai.

The Maldives are a diver’s paradise but also the perfect vacation spot for tailor-made holidays. A unique invitation to travel and to dream, that no one shall dismiss!
