Maldives Travel Insurance

Maldives Travel Insurance


The thought of the Maldives will stir up two images in most people’s minds: beaches and more beaches. Since the country is an archipelago of 1,192 coral islands grouped into 26 coral atolls, every resort in the Maldives is its own private island, making it really difficult for tourists to decide on a location. The Maldives has some of the best diving and snorkelling locations in the world, and adventure/water-sports lovers will find its shores an absolute haven. Surfing is another popular pastime mainly during the period of March and October. The awe-inspiring coral reef and brightly coloured tropical fish are a magnificent spectacle to behold for any interested tourist. It is not uncommon to find a throng of honeymooning couples enjoying a sunset cruise on the island shores. Although it is an expensive destination for travellers, the unmatched tropical beach experience that is provides continues to make the Maldives a much sought-after destination.
