MARVELLOUS MALDIVES by Nicola Palmer , Perfect Getaways
If romance and luxury are on your bucket list , the idyllic islands of the Maldives is certainly the place for you . It lies in the midst of the Indian Ocean and consists of over 1,200 small , beautiful , islands grouped together in clusters or atolls as they are known . There are 26 atolls spread across the Maldives with some atolls specifically chosen for their aquarium-like diving conditions , while others focus on luxury hotels .
All of the islands in the Maldives are pretty much at low level with the highest point being just 6 feet above sea-level . They are built from the crowns of a submerged ancient volcanic mountain range and are protected from monsoons by barrier reefs around the islands . The temperature rarely falls below 30 degrees celsius throughout the year although the rain season runs from May to October normally peaking around June .
Tourists fly in to the capital , Mali , which itself is a small island , and then enjoy a short sea-plane ride or a speedboat to the island of their choice , where idyllic water bungalows , beachfront houses and inland houses await .
