An Unforgettable

Holiday Experience

The One Island, One Resort in the Maldives

By Lisa Ziehrock

he Maldives is a

well-known

holiday

destination, and it is a nation of islands in the Indian Ocean. The country is comprised of 1192 small islands that stretch along a length of 871 kilometers and covers an area of around 90,000 square kilometers, but only 298 square kilometers is dry land.

The first time I travelled to the Maldives in 2016, I was really impressed by its unique concept of one-island-one-resort, which means that one hotel occupies the whole island. These islands are beautifully and naturally distanced from each other, people can visit other islands by water taxi or just simply enjoy the physical distancing one needs during these times.
