Maldives Travel
If you are dreaming of a unique tropical island getaway like a castaway,
Maldives may well be the perfect place for you to travel to.
Maldives is a country situated on the southwest of Sri Lanka in the
waters of Indian Ocean. Its land area is composed of 1,190 coral islands,
forming an archipelago of 26 major coral structures or atolls. 200 islands
are considered to be inhabited and more than 80 islands more are developed
into resorts and tourist spots.
If you want to Travel to the Maldives then this is
very easy. Every visitor to the country has an automatic visiting visa
which is permitted for 30 days. You will need to provide proper documentation
such as an airline ticket and a proof of sufficient funds for your accommodation
and visiting various atolls. Your reservation to any resort is already
considered as a proof but you can fly in and bring cash or card of US$100
plus an extra $50 a day of total value.
Import of alcoholic beverages, pork, and pornographic material is strictly
prohibited and all luggage is x-rayed upon arrival as you would expect
from any reputable international airport. Just a word of caution, if
you do visit the beaches (which we have no doubt you will,) please remember
that sand and seashells are not allowed to be exported so please be
careful as this could get you into trouble with the authorities.
Getting around the Maldives is not your usual car or bus type holiday.
Boats, air taxis, sea planes and private yachts are the way to go from
one place to another. If you do happen to arrive in the Maldives at
night then be prepared to possibly spend the night at the airport hotel
as air taxis and private yachts, which are the preferred mode of transport
by tourists, do not operate at night.
Obviously a plane takes you faster than a yacht to any point to the
Maldives. You can travel to absolutely any island within the Maldives
by air in less than 45 minutes while it may take you approximately two
hours if you want to travel by water.

particularly well known for its scuba diving centers. Exquisite underwater
scenery is what most its guests yearn to see with its amazing weather

action then try their extreme sports like wakeboarding, water skiing
and wind surfing or you can choose to go up a gear by traveling in a
speedboat. If you want to avoid extreme sports and are less of an adrenaline
