Coral atolls, island stays and journeys across the water.
The Maldives is an Indian Ocean archipelago where the island you choose shapes the whole holiday. Resort islands, inhabited local islands and liveaboard trips offer different experiences. Arrival is usually followed by a speedboat, seaplane or domestic flight connection. Compare that transfer alongside accommodation, dining and activities when deciding which stay fits your plans.

Check how transfers operate around your international arrival and departure. Seaplanes normally operate in daylight, and an overnight stay near the airport may be needed. A remote island can add a substantial journey to both ends of your holiday.
Resort and local-island rules differ, including dress and alcohol restrictions. Compare the exact meal plan, drinks, marine activities and transfer charges. Choose responsible snorkelling and diving practices and keep clear of coral and wildlife.
