99% of the Maldives - a nation of over 1,000 islands and sandbanks - is water. Water such as dreams are made of. Every shade of blue you could imagine, and then some, is distilled in the crystal Indian Ocean lagoons that lap these romantic coral islands. If you’re Maldives-bound and watersports are your ‘thing’ then be prepared to go to Heaven. Oh, and there’s another ‘unique selling point’ we should mention. Escapism here is just a matter of stepping out on to your beach terrace or overwater sundeck. Most Maldives hotels stand on once uninhabited islands, each with just one resort.
