Tourism in the Maldives



The Maldives is well known in the tourism industry of the world. In particular, its many resorts on the atolls have garnered a lot of attention in recent years. With an increasing number of visitors from all over the world, it should be no surprise that there are a number of destinations aimed at tourists from different nationalities. Thus, there are several things to consider when planning a trip to the Maldives.

In addition to oceanic attractions and unique local shopping and drinking experiences, there are also frequent flights to Male International Airport and onward connections available via air-conditioned reclining chairs for a more comfortable journey.

The Maldives is a tourist-friendly location with no visa requirements and a very relaxed attitude towards tourists. Visitors from most countries can obtain a free 30-day visa on arrival and enjoy the many attractions on offer.

There are several reasons why the Maldives is one of the best tourist destinations in the world:


The atolls are well-known for their warm, clear waters and beautiful beaches. The coral reefs around them are home to an abundance of tropical fish, sea turtles, whales and dolphins. There are also islands which consist only of white sandy beaches or small coral islands surrounded by lagoons. The best time to visit the Maldives is from mid-May to December when it is warm, dry and sunny. The sea temperature varies between 76–84 °F (30–29 °C) and the average air temperature is 80 °F (27 °C).

The Maldives are also known for their natural attractions. Islands feature the rare combination of virgin beaches, lagoons and coral reefs. The islands are also home to unique wildlife such as blue-spotted leaf turtles, giant sea trouts and dolphins which can be spotted when snorkeling or diving in the sea or islands.
