Fly to Maldives

Silky white sands awash with sparkling turquoise lagoons make the Maldives the definition of paradise. Think 5-star resorts with villas perched on stilts in the Indian Ocean, colourful coral and rich marine life that make the underwater just as exciting as over, and glistening bioluminescent plankton that make the sea sparkle long after the sun sets. A popular destination for celebrities and honeymooners alike, flights to the Maldives are perfect for those looking for a slice of luxury. From the incredible birds-eye view of the archipelago when you first arrive, to the pictures you’ll be gazing at long after you’ve said goodbye, fly to the Maldives for the trip of a lifetime.

It’s easy to reach the exotic islands, with tickets to the Maldives available from a range of destinations across the world, including London, Dubai and Singapore. The main airport in the Maldives, Velana\nInternational Airport is located in the capital city of Malé. Many travellers use this as a gateway to their resorts, but the compact capital is also worth a visit to immerse yourself in the traditional Maldivian culture. Providing a contrast from the tranquillity of the other islands, in Malé you can expect bustling markets, delicious restaurants and fascinating monuments. If you’re looking for a transfer to one of the beautiful resorts, you can either take a seaplane or speedboat. The former gives you a picture-perfect view of the islands from above, and the latter, a cheaper option, lets you enjoy the wind in your hair as you jet through the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean.

Most people book flights to the Maldives for its luxurious resorts, but if sightseeing is what you’re after, head to the capital of Malé. Here you will find the Grand Friday Mosque, the country’s largest mosque, easily spotted by its glistening golden dome, and the Hukuru Miskiy, the country’s oldest mosque with its unique architecture. A trip to the National Museum is also a must for a peek into the country’s culture and history. However, when you fly to the Maldives, it’s the country’s natural beauty and breathtaking scenery that really steal the spotlight. For scuba divers, Banana Reef in Kuda Kahli is one of the best diving spots with its incredible marine life and vibrant coral, as is the Maldive Victory, an underwater wreck from when a cargo ship sunk in 1981. Meanwhile, Hanifaru Bay is a must for snorkellers wanting to swim with the manta rays. You can also take a boat trip to watch the dolphins or paddle board in the clear, calm waters. As for the resorts, you can expect world-class cuisine, luxurious spas, incredible infinity pools and lively entertainment - basically, everything you need for the most perfect holiday.

For a luxurious getaway you’ll never forget, book flights to the Maldives today.
