But let’s start with five:
Malé Island
The location of the capital city – and the main international airport – this island is amust. But don’t just land here and then run off to your next destination. Spend sometime soaking in the history here – in the Grand Friday Mosque, built in 1658 out ofcoral stone, and hearkening back to the age of the sultanate. Soak in the sights andsounds (and maybe the smells too!) of the Malé Fish Market – an essential hub forthe locals, many of whom get their sustenance from the ever-present ocean thatsurrounds them. Lounge at the luxurious beaches, in a glamour that’s not to besurpassed.
Biyadhoo Island
Biyadhoo Island is a scuba-diver’s paradise. This densely vegetated, city-less islandis where nature thrives – particularly in the water, as the island is quite close tomany of the country’s best diving spots. And not only does it boast world-classscuba, but there are a range of other water sports, and countless opportunities forthrills. Or, if you prefer to relax, most of this island is made up of the splendidBiyadhoo Resort – a delightful spot to relax and soak in the tropical sun!
