“The Maldives” an archipelago of 1200 coral islands situated in the Indian Ocean.
These islands are distributed into 26 natural atolls stretching from north to south across more than 800 kilometres.
Most international visitors will fly into – Velana International Airport which is connected to the capital city Male.
Approximately 200 of these islands in the Maldives are inhabited, and another 200 islands are resort islands, and although the Maldives covers about 90,000 square kilometres it has a land area of under 300 square kilometres – which makes it the 9th smallest country in the world!
You Don’t Need a Visa to Enter Maldives
A thirty day visa is issued on arrival for all nationalities, but you will need to make sure your passport has at least 6 months of validity remaining and that you have an air ticket out of the Maldives.
It is a world-class diving and snorkeling destination with incredible coral reef.
The Maldives is home to the most mind-blowing marine life, with more than 1,000 fish species, 40 species of sharks, dolphins, turtles, tropical fish, manta rays, sting rays, sea turtles and even whale sharks.
Most of the Islands are less than 2 meters over sea level
Maldives is also extremely susceptible to the effects of climate change due to its low laying nature.
