MALDIVES – An island paradise experience
Best Time to Visit: MAY, SEP – NOV
Located in the Indian Ocean southwest of Sri Lanka and India, the Republic of Maldives is an archipelagic state consisting of 1,196 tropical islands spread out over 540 miles from north to south and formed by 26 natural atolls. The capital is Male, located on the North Male Atoll traditionally called the “King’s Island” where the ancient royal dynasties ruled. The remote islands are either inhabited by natives, by hotel resorts, or are uninhabited. Most resorts occupy an entire island and therefore create an unusually exclusive holiday experience. Sample some of the freshest seafood at one of the resort’s restaurants, prepared using ingredients grown in the island’s gardens. Or dine privately in your own bungalow or on a candlelit beach. Lakani will help you to select the accommodations suited to your interests, from over-water villas to elegant bungalows with private pools. Sip cocktails beside your infinity pool, read on your private deck, indulge in world-class spa treatments, cruise on a traditional yacht, or explore the stunning coral reefs and abundant marine life. Your unforgettable experience in this island paradise is ideally combined with a tour of Sri Lanka or India. Please contact Lakani for suggestions.
