About the Maldives
A little temptation…
The Maldives can boast some of the world’s most beautiful scenery. Lined with palm trees, deep blue seas, coral reefs and white sandy beaches it makes for a secluded and romantic setting. After many months of planning your wedding, the Maldives is the perfect location to relax and begin married life.
Lying in the Indian Ocean, the Maldives lies in two rows of atolls made up of coral islands. Each atoll is made up of a coral reef encircling a lagoon and each island has its own reef encircling the island lagoon.
Surprisingly the Maldives only developed its first resort for tourists in 1972 and ever since the Maldivian people and their government have been working hard to ensure their environment is protected. Since 1995, some areas have been ‘protected regions’ to ensure that the corals and endangered marine species are not harmed.
Climate
The climate in the Maldives is fairly unchanged all year round- which is very good to know for packing! The average temperature is around 30 degrees and the sun is constant on most days.
There are two distinct seasons, the dry season is January-March (North East Monsoon) and the Wet Season from mid-May to November (South West Monsoon).
Things to do
The Maldives really does offer something for everyone! The Maldives is renowned for its underwater life so diving is the perfect opportunity to explore life under the sea. What’s more, as the area is surrounded by warm, turquoise waters there are plenty of water-sports to choose from. As always there are opportunities to explore the local area with excursions and trips so speak with your travel agent.
For those looking to relax there couldn’t be a better place to do so. With spa, beauty and well-being treatments on tap, you will come home feeling completely refreshed and rejuvenated.
