A tropical paradise of overwater villas, crystal-clear lagoons, and pristine white-sand beaches. The ultimate luxury escape in the Indian Ocean.

World-class snorkeling and diving reveal vibrant coral reefs, manta rays, whale sharks, and sea turtles. Many resorts feature underwater restaurants, overwater spas, and stargazing decks. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply need to disconnect, the Maldives delivers an unforgettable escape.
Most nationalities receive a free 30-day visa on arrival. Extensions can be applied for up to 90 days. All tourists must have a confirmed booking at a registered tourist facility (resort, guesthouse, or liveaboard). The Maldives is 100% Muslim; respect local customs when visiting inhabited islands.
