Luxury holidays in the Maldives by Cox & Kings
Four degrees north of the equator, the Maldivian archipelago of 1,190 islands stretches ribbon-like across the deep blue seas of the Indian Ocean. These tropical sandy hideaways offer visitors pure relaxation in exquisitely beautiful surroundings.
Underwater, the spectacle is perhaps even more stunning, with more than 900 species of exotic fish inhabiting the crystal clear waters and coral reefs.

Top things to do in Maldives
Experience luxurious hospitality
The Maldives boasts some truly exclusive accommodation options. Stay in a private bungalow in an all-water villa resort, on a secluded coral atoll, or on a private island with direct beach access.
Go snorkelling
With remarkable coral reefs and an abundance of marine life, snorkelling is an ideal way to experience this underwater world.
Enjoy a sunset cruise
Relax on board and enjoy antipasti platters and drinks, while the changing colours of the sky are reflected in the shimmering waters.
Take to the skies
A number of the hotels provide a sea plane transfer – opt for one of these to gain a spectacular aerial view of the atolls.
Explore Male
A surprising hive of activity away from the relaxed luxury resorts, Male offers lively markets and a real chance to meet the people who live here.
