About Maldives

The ultimate paradise — 1,192 coral islands, overwater villas, turquoise lagoons, world-class diving, and the planet's most exclusive resorts. A 100% Muslim nation with halal everything.

The Republic of Maldives is an archipelago of 1,192 coral islands grouped into 26 atolls, stretching across the Indian Ocean southwest of India. Only 200 islands are inhabited, and over 160 operate as private resort islands — the "one island, one resort" concept means unparalleled privacy and exclusivity. The Maldives is the world's flattest country (average elevation 1.5 metres above sea level) and one of its most vulnerable to climate change. For Gulf visitors, the Maldives holds special appeal: it is a 100% Sunni Muslim nation — every resort serves halal food, prayer rooms are available, and Arabic is understood at many luxury properties. Direct flights from Dubai take just 4.5 hours. The currency is tied to the USD. Honeymoons, family escapes, and diving holidays are the main draws.
