About Maldives

The Maldives, an enchanting tropical paradise in the Indian Ocean, is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and idyllic island lifestyle. Comprising 26 atolls and over 1,000 coral islands, this South Asian nation is celebrated for its pristine white-sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and vibrant marine life, making it a premier destination for snorkeling, diving, and luxury tourism. The Maldives is the smallest Asian country in both land area and population, with its capital, Malé, serving as the bustling hub of culture and governance. Known for its overwater bungalows and eco-friendly resorts, the Maldives faces significant challenges due to climate change, as rising sea levels threaten its low-lying islands. Despite these challenges, the country remains a symbol of serenity and natural wonder, attracting visitors from around the globe.
