Great holiday dreaming
Are you dreaming of being on holiday in the Maldives? If so, then you have already looked into these coral atolls located in the Indian Ocean. Maybe you chose them for their white sand beaches, breathtaking house reefs, tranquility and crystal clear waters where scuba diving is at its best. Or was it the deep blue lagoons, snorkeling, sailing and big game fishing that caught your attention?
We all choose our travel destination for what it offers, whether it be on a mountain top, on a cruise ship or an island somewhere that resembles paradise. These amazing islands are actually located in both the eastern and northern hemispheres and bordered by the Arabian Sea, Laccadive Sea and Indian Ocean.
These low lying specs of coral are at the mercy of the erosion of the sea and if you remember the Tsunami in December 2004, that event severely damaged some of these islands. Gorgeous is a word often heard by those who make this their island getaway and so they return again and again for the peacefulness and beauty found here. In the last few decades, the Maldives have become a popular resort and spa destination for those who love the island setting.
