One of the world’s most popular holiday destinations. So white and pure, Maldivian beaches are famous for their staggering beauty. In fact, one of the main reasons holidaymakers choose the Maldives is the quality of these island beaches. Definite holiday envy.
Maldives is known for its one island one resort concept. The private island stay experience is something you just don’t get everywhere and even if you do, you can’t take out of context how special this one is.
The most remarkable thing about these beaches, the reason they’re so special is the fact that they’re made from coral. The whole country is made up of 26 coral atolls, formed after the eruption of ancient underwater volcanoes. Coralline beaches are rare and constitute only about 5% of the world’s beaches. You really won’t find stretches of sand like this in many other places on the planet.
The Maldives is a hub for all sorts of diverse marine life, but the most remarkable has to be the whale shark, the biggest fish in the ocean.
These enormous creatures of the deep can grow up from 18 to 32 feet long. Despite their size, they pose no danger to humans and live off a healthy diet of plankton.
The best place for year-long whale shark sightings in the Maldives, especially around the southern part of Sun Island’s reef is the South Ari Atoll. The Rangali Island on the Alif Dhaal Atoll and the uninhabited Hanifaru Bay on the Baa Atoll are also excellent whale shark spotting spots.
Maldives is considered one of the safest holiday destinations in the world. They also have quite a unique description for the weekend. While in most of the countries on the globe, the weekend means Saturday and Sunday, it is not so in the Maldives. The weekend here is Friday and Saturday.
So take that much-needed break and have a little bit of fun. The Maldives is an absolute first choice recommendation for you.
