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.
