Holidays in the Maldives are all about truly getting away from it all. Most of these tiny coral islands in the Indian Ocean have to be reached by speedboat or seaplane and the dramatic, scenic arrival adds to their charm. There isn't a great deal to do in the Maldives except completely relax, which is why they're such a hit with honeymooners and those seeking a quiet escape. Originally a specialist diving destination, the Maldives still boast some of the best marine life in the world, so snorkelling and diving are popular, as are sailing, fishing and other water sports. Other than that, kicking back and relaxing is the order of the day. From budget Maldives hotels to stunning spa retreats on stilts, accommodation in the Maldives is bound to be impressive. Chill out and take in the palm fringed beaches and impossibly clear seas. To capture just how beautiful this place really is, don't forget to pack a camera.
