Indian Ocean
Overwater villas, house reefs and water in every shade of blue.
Why go
The Maldives is a chain of coral atolls scattered across the Indian Ocean, where each resort has its own island and the reef starts at your villa steps.
Days are simple: snorkel with turtles and reef sharks, picnic on a sandbank, and watch the sunset from your deck over the water.
Don't miss
Sleep above the lagoon, with a ladder straight down into the sea.
Turtles, rays and bright reef fish, often just steps from the beach.
Fly low over the atolls from Malé. It's the view you see in every photo.
