Let time stand still and enter the last
paradise on earth, a thousand iridescent
islands glistening amongst the indigo
lagoons of the Indian Ocean. Suspended off
the southern tip of India this archipelago is
the epitome of pure escapism.
Here world-class luxury is set amidst the
gentle sway of the palm and powder soft
sands that melt into the crystal blues. The turquoise calm belies the burst of life
and colour of the underwater gardens,
where you can explore the reefs teeming
with a tropical marine pantomime offering
some of the worlds best diving.
Whatever your needs, whether as a haven
of tranquillity or a fascinating diving
adventure, the Maldives are the perfect
place to relax, reflect and rejuvenate.
The only difficulty is deciding which
of the Robinson Crusoe islands is the
one for you………………
We can do nothing to shrink the distance
between the US and the islands of the
Indian Ocean, but the flying time can
appear significantly reduced when
travelling on a world class airline with a
reputation for service, reliability, punctuality
and the latest in pampering. Please speak
with your travel arranger so that they can
find an airline to suit your needs, whether
this is via the UK, Europe or India.
