Maldives and Her Islands have long been referred to as a tropical paradise. But her unspoiled islands are not for everyone. If you're looking for a familiar, commercial environment perhaps like your own hometown, you won’t find it in the Maldives. These extraordinary islands are for people seeking the unique, novel, adventurous or private honeymoon experience: who want to visit a destination whose culture is different from their own The first glimpse you get of this fascinating atoll- formation confirms two unique aspects of the Republic of Maldives. Not only does it consist of the most beautiful tropical islands, but also the sea covers 99% of its 90.000 km². 1190 islands are spread over 26 atolls, ringlike coral formations enclosing a lagoon, which gives the Maldives its unique paradise-like appearance. They stretch for about 820 km from North to South, 130 km at the widest point and do not exceed a length of 4.5 miles or an altitude of 6 feet above sea level. No more than 200 islands are inhabited; the rest includes the 87 tourist resorts and uninhabited islands, some of which are used for drying fish or other agricultural activities. The capital Malé, the seat of government and the centre of trade, commerce, business, health and education, is located in the middle of the atoll chain, a small island buzzing with the sounds and activities of about 75.000 people which is about one third of the population.
