Soft specks of white sand bordering the periphery of the cerulean ocean, the beaches in the Maldives offer enchanting beauty you can’t experience anywhere else in the world. There are longer and wider beaches in the world, but for proximity to your room, quality, colour and the breath-taking combination with lagoon and reef, you can’t beat the Maldives. These sandy white beaches combined with the sparkling turquoise lagoons and a bungalow on the beach is perfect for a beach holiday. The beaches of Maldives offer countless opportunities to the tourists for scuba diving, snorkelling and fishing or simply lazing around in the sun.
A typical Maldives beach is fifty to sixty percent dead coral from its own house reef, most of which is the excretion of coral munching fish, such as the parrotfish. The rest is made up mostly of algae.
The numerous atolls and islands in the Maldives are surrounded with a coast line that is unique to itself. A Maldives beach holiday is the ideal escape from the hustle and bustle of life where visitors can laze under the sun and listen to the soothing sounds of the waves.
Having said all that, it is still true that a beach experience in the Maldives is very likely to be wonderful and unique, second to nowhere else in the world. For most rooms most of the year there is a glorious beach right outside the door. And when there isn’t, the islands are generally so small that you only have to stroll a few seconds away to get to an area of ideal beach. And ultimately, the management is always willing to move you when a better room becomes available.
