FAQs

The Maldives is renowned for its stunning turquoise waters and unique atolls, a place unlike anywhere else on earth. A vast submarine mountain range makes up the country with less than four percent breaking the waters’ surface. The visible tips of the range form over 1000 low-laying islands. Roughly 200 of these islands are inhabited, and almost 100 of them have been developed as luxury tourist resorts.   

The Maldives are located in the Indian Ocean, at the top of the equator which means the country enjoys year-round warm weather and a consistent average temperature of 28°C. Water temperatures range between 26°C – 29°C and, when combined with the abundance of tropical fish, marine life, and iconic over-water bungalows, the Maldives is an ideal holiday destination for all water-lovers!
