At a glance
The Maldives is one of the most stunning holiday destinations. It’s a country comprised of over a thousand coral islands in the Indian ocean – only around 185 of them are inhabited. The crystal clear waters, colourful reefs and stunning marine life make the Maldives such an ideal place for scuba diving and snorkelling.
The Maldives may well be the most beautiful collection of islands you will ever see, but they have only become a popular travel destination in recent decades. Today the sparkling Maldives attracts increasingly well-off travellers, and you will find wonderful restaurants, hotels and top quality service as a result. It truly is a destination for those who love the finer things in life.
On this sailing trip, you’ll travel around the various islands of the Maldives on a stunning yacht, taking part in a variety of exhilarating activities and adventures along the way. You’ll have plenty of chances to scuba dive and see the plethora of colourful marine life that reside here – including a swimming with sharks excursion at the famous Fish Head dive site. You can also enjoy luxury spa treatments at the resorts you’ll be visiting, as well as yoga classes and sunset salutations.
Of course, at each of the islands you’ll have some amazing wine and dine options to choose from, with a variety of cuisines to suit all tastes.
With over a thousand islands to see, what better way to travel the Maldives than by yacht?
