| Maldives | The prospective visitor to Maldives should know that it is not just a small group of islands, here we have an Archipelago with 1192 volcanic and coral islands! The first resort, a 60-bed one, was built in 1972 on an uninhabited atoll near Male. Visitors in 1972 were only some 1000, they were more than enough, though, to make the small islands world renowned. The natural beauty, the impressive view over the Indian Ocean, the virgin, untouched sea and land environment and the friendly and helpful services by the local people were the main reasons. Becoming almost a ..Robinson Cruso, without having to undergo the hardships he went through, exploring the underwater gardens he had no access to, putting oneself at a huge distance, both space-wise and psychologically, away from everyday problems and anxieties, have made Maldives a travel paradize. |
