Discover Maldives

Maldives is an Indian Ocean island country of coral atolls, turquoise lagoons and white-sand beaches. The result is a travel experience shaped as much by scenery as by historic places, food, crafts and local ways of life.

Well-known destinations include Malé, Ari Atoll, Baa Atoll and the many inhabited and resort islands. Each highlights a different side of the country, from landmark architecture and historic streets to coastlines, mountains, forests or open countryside.

The journey is often shaped by snorkelling, diving, lagoons, reef life, boat journeys and tropical sunsets. This mix of scenery, heritage and local life gives travellers many different ways to remember Maldives, whether the trip is focused on cities, culture or the outdoors.

There is more here than a checklist of famous locations. Regional routes, local streets and natural viewpoints help connect the best-known sights with the everyday character of the country and often become some of the most personal travel memories.

For a travel collection, a Maldives flag magnet offers a compact reminder of the country and the experiences connected with it. It can stand on its own or sit alongside magnets from the towns, landscapes and places that made the journey memorable.
