If you choose to travel to Maldives on holiday, you will experience a tranquil setting with a variety of water sports and other activities. However, before you go, you will need to read this Maldives travel guide to ensure you get the most out of your holiday.
The Maldives Islands are the ideal tropical holiday spot, comprised of 1,190 islands in the Indian Ocean. The temperature is warm, the water is clear, and the beaches are unpolluted. You can experience it all first-hand when you travel to Maldives and stay in a waterfront bungalow where you can simply open your front door to a breathtaking view.
Maldives offers many water sports you can try while you're there. You can choose to scuba dive, snorkel, surf or fish, or just sit back and watch the whales and dolphins. Maldives travelers can see a variety of sharks during their stay. Maldives has some 26 types of sharks, including the snaggletooth shark, scalloped hammerhead shark and the blacktip reef shark.
Are you looking for something to do besides water sports? There are plenty of other things to do when you travel to Maldives. Male (pronounced Mah-lay) is the largest city in Maldives. It has a dense population of more than 80,000 people, but it offers a host of attractions. Some of the most popular places to visit include:
* Sultan Park and the National Museum
* The Republic Square
* The Presidential Palace
* The Islamic Center
* The Grand Mosque
* The Fish Market
How to Get to Maldives
There aren't a lot of choices for how to travel to Maldives. No boats go to Maldives on a regular basis. This is because in addition to the costs involved, it is also difficult to maneuver around the reefs. Most people travel to Maldives by plane and arrive at the Male International Airport.
With 89 existing resorts and more in the works, tourism is a booming business. A large percentage of the visitors to Maldives are European, therefore most of the flights come from the UK, Germany and Italy.
How to Travel the Maldives Islands
Getting around in Maldives is fairly easy because the distance from Point A to Point B is never very great. Once on the islands, boats are used as the main mode of transportation. Helicopter rides are always an option. Private yachts are also available for local transportation if you are willing to splurge a little.
Environmental Concerns in Maldives
There are a few simple rules to keep in mind during your Maldives holiday. Maldives is experiencing some environmental concerns due to global warming, overpopulation, air pollution and deforestation. The environment is fragile. Therefore, travelers aren't allowed to take any sand or seashells home with them. Fishing is often limited to the catch-and-release method, as well, and travelers aren't allowed to kill turtles. The idea is to preserve and protect the Maldives so future generations also can enjoy the pleasure of these islands.
A Luxurious and Relaxing Holiday Destination
Anyone traveling to Maldives can expect luxury, relaxation and fun in the sun. You'll be surrounded by paradise, treated like royalty and blanketed in the warmth of the sun. You couldn't ask for a more picturesque location for holiday than Maldives.
