MALDIVES OVER WATER VILLAS

The Maldives Islands comprises of 1190 coral islands grouped into 26 circular atolls, lying in two rows straddling the equator over an area of 90,000 square kilometers in the Indian Ocean. Only 200 islands are inhabited by locals and some 90 more are developed as tourist resorts. The islands are low-lying; the highest point barely eight feet above sea level. Ring-shaped atolls enclose lagoons in which islands are located. Because of their unique placement in lagoons, these islands are protected from harsh winds and waves. This paves way for the exclusive Maldivian overwater villas, built just off the shores. The Maldives are equipped with world-class hotels that offer the highest standards of sophistication. Unique to the destination is their one resort per island policy, meaning that wherever you stay, you'll feel as though you have been hidden away on your own private piece of paradise. These resorts provide their guests with the perfect setting to relax on their pristine beaches and watch a vivid sunset with cocktail in hand Below are just a sampling of the many over water villa resorts the Maldives have to offer.
