Are you ready to experience paradise on earth? Look no further than the Maldives. Located in the Indian Ocean, this stunning archipelago is made up of approximately 26 coral atolls and over 1,000 islands, and while not all are inhabited, there are a large variety of luxury Maldives beach resorts and holiday packages to choose from when searching for that ideal beach holiday.

Many of the islands have only one or two resorts, so if you’re look for exclusivity and privacy, a Maldives vacation is ideal. Crystal clear waters, white sandy beaches, and an abundance of wildlife make the Maldives the ultimate destination for sun, sea, and sand. And that’s not all – visitors can also immerse themselves in the local culture by visiting the Maafushi Island, the Grand Friday Mosque, and the Hukuru Miskiy Mosque. For those seeking adventure, the Maldives also offers world-class diving and snorkelling experiences, with the chance to spot whale sharks and manta rays.

Maldives holiday packages are the perfect exotic beach break for South Africans, as there are daily flight connections via the Middle East, and you do not need to obtain a visa before you travel. There’s a resort out there for everyone, whether you are looking to be active, enjoy lazy beach days, or indulge yourself at the resort spa. One of the most popular Maldives package experiences is staying in a luxury water villa, which is situated right over the ocean.
