Maldives is an archipelagic nation with a total land area of 298 sq. km in the Indian Ocean. It is Asia's smallest country. Here, over 1,110 islands are grouped into a double chain of 26 atolls. The islands of the country are dispersed across about 90,000 sq. km of the ocean. This fact makes Maldives one of the world's most geographically dispersed nations.
The Maldives is an independent republic (formerly a Sultanate) in the Indian Ocean about 670km west of Sri Lanka, an hour by plane, comprising an archipelago of 200 inhabited and 991 uninhabited islands.
With our Maldives Tours, visitors generally stay on uninhabited islands, not as castaways but as guests in the super luxury hotels of which there is only one on each resort island. It’s also possible to stay on some inhabited islands, but in guest houses that do not have the comforts or variety of facilities (there are no bars on inhabited islands, for instance) that brand-name hotels have. The resorts are popular for Scuba diving and snorkeling, spa therapy, and sheer beach relaxation. Travel to Maldives and Maldives Tours can be arranged with Asia Travel Club as part of a holiday to Sri Lanka.
