Maldives

Made up of over twelve thousand tiny coral islands this tropical paradise nestles in the stunning blue waters of the Indian Ocean making them the ideal location for that desert island getaway, which is a reason why many famous people choose these idyllic islands to escape to, so if you stumble across Jodie Kidd or Sienna Miller then remember why they are here. It is their holiday too.

Two main reasons for visiting this part of the world are for the secluded, romantic setting for a honeymoon couple or to sample some of the most spectacular dive locations in the world. Most of the atolls only house one hotel so any entertainment will be in house, so if you really want to get away from it all this is the ideal place to come. If doing absolutely nothing is what your holiday is all about then this must be your ideal location, it really is a sunbathers paradise offering some of the world\'s best deserted beaches.
