The Maldives is an island country in the Indian Ocean. It is famous for its clear beaches, beautiful islands, and tropical weather. Given that, it is surrounded by the sea, it offers many water sports and underwater marine life to explore. After fishing, tourism is the biggest part of the country's economy and grows every year.
Even though the Maldives as a country is expensive - about three times more expensive than India - it remains very popular with travelers worldwide. This high cost is due to resort taxes and imported food. Still, it is one of the top honeymoon destinations in the world.
When it comes to places to stay, luxury hotels like Taj, JW Marriott, Le Meridian, The Ritz Carlton, The St. Regis and Four Seasons run many high-end water villas. However, if you are on a budget holiday, you can stay in city hotels or affordable beach side resorts.
There are not many sightseeing spots for tourists, so most visitors stay minimum 4 to 5 nights. Since, fishing is a major engaged profession here, you can enjoy delicious local seafood like fish cutlets, tandoori fish, and fish cakes.
The best time to visit is between November and April. The Maldives is a magical place with blue skies and starry nights, making it a peaceful and wonderful destination to visit with your loved ones.
