Consisting of 26 natural atolls – islands and isolated reefs – the Maldives is a great holidays destination to encounter all sorts of marine life, pristine beaches, and the bright blue waters of the sparkling Indian Ocean. Most of the islands are so small, that they host only one resort, while the bigger ones are flocked with shopping areas, restaurants and hotels.  

However, the truth is that the exotic beauty of the Maldives can be experienced only by staying in an isolated island with waterfront suites, lagoon villas, and exotic bungalows! Just in case you're seriously considering to explore the urban aspect of the Maldives, the four largest cities are Male at Kaafu Atoll, Fuvahmulah at Gnaviyani Atoll, Hithadhoo at Addu City Atoll, and Kulhudhuffushi at Haa Dhaalu Atholhu.
