Maldives

When you close your eyes and think of the Maldives, you will be imagining pristine turquoise waters lapping softly against luxury water bungalows on stilts. You are right, yet the reality is even better. The Maldives is simply the queen of Indian Ocean destinations. Each luxury resort is set on its own private island, shielded by a picture-perfect lagoon. These are surrounded by a coral reef teeming with brightly coloured marine life. Our luxury Maldives holidays are all about choice. We will find you your perfect island.

In many ways, the problem is deciding between them. Having seen all of the amazing resorts in the Maldives, we can help you compare and contrast. This allows you honest travel advice to select the luxury accommodation that is perfect for you. Whether you are travelling on a luxury honeymoon and wanting the most romantic retreat, or as a family where the children can delve into world-class kids clubs or the island which offers the best diving or snorkelling, we help you find the place to go. We are absolute specialists at carefully tailoring an itinerary to combine a dash of culture beforehand. These combinations include Sri Lanka, India, Oman or Dubai. Furthermore, we can arrange creative tours that might include a night or two on a luxury dhoni, island hopping through atolls enabling you to see a little more of the Maldives.

The Maldives is quite simply an all-year-round destination, and being so close to the equator the temperatures only really vary a few degrees around the 30 degree mark. Technically, the monsoon arrives from May to September, but as the islands are so low-lying, the showers wash over fairly quickly, and if anything is a fairly dramatic interlude.
