MALDIRIBBEAN Maldives The Maldives is an archipelago of 1,190 coral islands grouped into 26 coral atolls (200 inhabited islands, plus 80 islands with tourist resorts) in the Indian Ocean. The Maldives is a great place to play Robinson Crusoe: You can stay on a tiny island that has a soft, sandy beach, sparkling turquoise lagoon and only a single dwelling. And if you plunge beneath the surface of the lagoon, you’ll find extraordinary underwater scenery with an amazing variety of colorful reef fish. The luxurious escapes you’ll find in the Maldives are not merely an accident of geography, but a matter of deliberate design. The Maldives is not a place for bargain hunters. Nevertheless, most travelers will find the unspoiled beauty and serenity they discover in the Maldives to be well worth the cost.
