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.
