Turquoise blue water shimmers to the horizon in every direction.  Small waves break at your feet as you stroll across the white sand beach of your luxury Maldives resort on a private tropical island. Lush green palms sway overhead as the warm sea breeze gently rocks the hammock you’re lounging in.  Tomorrow, you will be diving into the crystal clear ocean swarming with tropical fish from your private over-water bungalow.

The Maldives are a collection of 26 beautiful atolls with around 1,190 individual islands in the Indian Ocean. Picture perfect, these tropical islands are home to some of the most stunning beach resorts on Earth. With their unique luxury over-water bungalows to stay in, Maldives Resorts will provide you with the ultimate beach break or honeymoon hideaway. Most resorts offer all-inclusive dinning packages which mean you’ll be spoilt for choice. Sailing, snorkelling, kite-surfing and scuba-diving are activities for the adventurists while others may just prefer to lounge by the infinity pool!

Maldives Resorts Olhuveli island. Luxury holidays to the indian Ocean and beautiful maldives beaches

As an Airline Pilot I’ve been very fortunate to fly here for work, with week long stop-over’s. Yes, being paid to relax on the white sand beaches or swim in the turquoise blue waters; I really do have to pinch myself when I visit the Maldives!

These are all my own photos from stays on Dhidhoofinolhu (LUX Resort) and Olhuveli (Olhuveli Beach & Spa Resort); apart from stock snorkelling photos (my underwater photography skills aren’t good enough!). I’ll answer any questions you have about visiting the Maldives in the comments section.
