HOME

Maldives Located in the Indian Ocean, about 500 km from the southern tips of both Sri Lanka and India, the Maldives is an exotic tropical island paradise fro the sun lover, the surfer, the diver and those who desire peace in its deepest meaning.

The natural wonder: the height of the islands rarely reach above two meters. The 1,192 islands, consisting of 26 atoll formations, are spread over an area of 90,000 square kilometers. The islands are surrounded by shallow crystal clear lagoons enclosed by coral reefs. Thus, they say: the paradise country will disappear-the first under water country will appear, if the global warming is continuing´

The unique islands provide visitors with one of the most breathtaking views of underwater life in the world, which is why the country also called by European: Diving Paradise.
