If you wish to unwind in an island destination that has beautiful white-sand beaches set against the backdrop of lush green palms, Maldives can be an excellent option. This island nation comprises more than a thousand coral islands that are grouped in 26 'atolls' or ring-shaped coral reefs. Many of the honeymooners from different parts of the world choose this country for spending a wonderful time amidst serene natural surroundings. However, other leisure travellers would also get to enjoy a pleasant holiday in this part of the world and spend some relaxed moments on its gorgeous beaches.

Your Maldives holidays package would allow you to go island-hopping in this fascinating island nation. Although it is made up of over 1,000 islands, only about 200 among them are inhabited. Most of the people living on those islands are engaged in farming, fishing, and tourism-related activities. The uninhabited islands are utilised for farming or as resort islands. While most of these islands are believed to have been formed by volcanic eruptions, some of them are manmade. Hulhumale is one such island, which was created in the year 2004 using loads of sand and concrete. Today, it appears more like a bustling town with paved roads, buildings and shops.

Over the years, some of the islands in the archipelago have disappeared owing to constant erosion and rising levels of water. The erosion of beaches continues to be a major problem. As a solution to this, seawalls have been built around the islands. During your Maldives holidays, you'll come across such islands with seawalls protecting their beaches from erosion. A visit to the Baa Atoll would allow you to experience a unique phenomenon of a 'glowing beach'. This is due to the presence of bioluminescent plankton present in the waves. You can check the exact timing of this spectacle and book your stay at a hotel on this atoll to witness those illuminations on the beach.

The Maldives holidays all inclusive packages provide can have your stay arranged in any of the resorts that is located on its own private island. It would be a wonderful opportunity for you to enjoy certain privileges that would not be otherwise available on some of the other islands. However, there may not be any malls or movie theatres outside the resort where your stay has been arranged. It is, therefore, advisable that you research well before booking your accommodation in one of such resorts.

While holidaying in this fantastic island country, you'll also get to explore the marine life underwater with the help of activities like scuba diving. Among the most popular spots is South Ari Atoll, which is an excellent place to watch the whale sharks in action. If you're on a visit to this atoll, you'll also get to see the dolphins moving around freely in the crystal-clear waters. If you wish to watch the Manta rays, head to the North Male Atoll. You can watch these rays from the air upon booking any of the seaplane tours across the Manta Point.
