Mark’s Travel offers a choice of luxury holidays to the exotic Maldives, located in the magical waters of the Indian Ocean. These beautiful islands form a cluster of over 1000 atolls and lagoons that lie just off the coast of Sri Lanka. Marco Polo referred to the islands as the “flower of the Indies”. We have carefully selected sophisticated resorts, surrounded by white sand beaches protected by miles of sheltered reefs and teaming with marine life. Warm waters with superb underwater visibility and an abundance of brightly coloured coral, offer conditions unrivalled for diving and snorkeling, (visitors must adhere to the strict regulations set down by the government of the Maldives to help protect these fragile coral reefs). Add to this a haven of understated yet sophisticated luxury and you have a perfect holiday of relaxation that will rejuvenate you, body and soul. All visitors to the Maldives arrive in Male the capital, before transferring by boat or seaplane, to their chosen island resort. (A late arrival in Male may require an overnight stay with an organised transfer to the islands the following morning. Full details will be given at the time of booking.)The weather in The Maldives is hot and steamy year round it being so close to the equator. The typical daily pattern is hot and sunny with rain coming as a heavy tropical downpour late afternoon before clearing once more. Temperature remains constant at an average of 31c and 80% Humidity cooled by ocean breezes. No Visas are currently required for UK passport holders. |
