Beaches.

Every beach deserves the Blue Flag for cleanliness, sustainability and safety. The archipelago's public recreation areas are always crowded, especially during peak tourist season. Those who appreciate peace and quiet should opt for resorts or private beaches. One-day excursions to an island are also possible, where you can enjoy a luxury holiday in accordance with your whims, subject to payment, of course.
Stunning beaches of the archipelago.
Beyond the bounty-style scenery and fantastic sunsets, visitors can find exotic activities on some islands: race against turtles on the shores of Velavaru and Laviani, feed stingrays at Bolifushi, swim with dolphins at Maafushi and take unique photos of luminous phytoplankton at Vaadhu. But when planning a holiday in the Maldives, remember that this is a Muslim country, where many public beaches are forbidden to drink alcohol and sunbathe in bikinis.
