Maldives Travel Guide

Maldives resorts guide

These stunning specks of costly coral in the Indian Ocean are not easy to find, or get to. A guide to Maldives luxury resorts and fun stuff. Pick from Maldives spa resorts or go for something simpler.




Step into a picture-postcard. Literally. Maldives resorts, they are a-changing. Long gone are the days when a palm-thatched hut by the beach with brackish water in the bathroom, and fish with everything (breakfast, lunch and dinner) were the highlights of a holiday there. Just 10 years ago, if someone smiled at you in a resort he was almost certainly Sri Lankan, since the Maldivians were too shy to let their feelings show. Things have certainly changed.

Toss out a question and your Maldivian hosts will respond with a ready smile and wit, waxing eloquent on the wonders of their delightful archipelago. And much they have to talk about. These islands have gone through rapid transition, catapulting from 19th century dhoni sailboats to howling 21st century speedboats with triple engines and enough thrust to land a wrestling marlin on the moon.
