The Maldives are an archipelago of one thousand one hundred and ninety two coral islands grouped into twenty six coral atolls situated in Indian Ocean. Of these only two hundred are inhabited and there are additional eighty islands with tourist resorts.
Maldives beaches are considered among the premier beach destinations of the world. The beaches of Maldives are ideal place for relaxing and unwinding, taking a break from the busy life of cities. The fantastic hotel facilities and outstanding service is well worth the name of best tropical beach destination of the world. The unparalleled combination of unique turquoise sea with warm shallow waters and beaches with powder white sand makes for heartwarming experience. To add to it, is the climate which makes for yearlong summer.
A visit to the inhabited island in Maldives is the best way to learn about the struggles and endurance of ordinary Maldivians. Some of the islands bear a modern look with brightly painted house walls and harbor areas. But there are quite fishing villages also. The hallmarks of them being tree-shade, swings and traditional wooden holhuashi. Holhuachi is a set up where villagers relax after a day of hectic work. They exchange news, tell stories, play cards and listen to local radio there.
Maldives tour operators will provide arrangements to go for night reef fishing trip. The opportunity to engage in night fishing is one of the major attractions of Maldives. The boat leaves before sunset and search for a good spot near a reef. After finding one you engage in fishing after being tutored by boat crew on how to use lines, hooks and sinkers. Old hands say that in an hour’s time you will catch enough. Then, to prepare the fish you can embark on a deserted island. Finding one will not be difficult as only a few of more than thousand islands are inhabited or utilized. While the food is being prepared, you can get to know the phantasmal ambience of a deserted island. You can feel the softness of sand untouched by human feet and listen to the sounds of nature. It will be slightly frightening to be there with stars alone for company. The visit to Virgin Islands in day time is also an enthralling experience. You can savor the raw vegetation, unspoilt beach and the gleaming sun rays on sea waters.
