Indian Ocean cruise holiday with a beach resort stay in the Maldives


Imagine a string of white sand islands, barely rising out of the sea. Imagine mesmerising waters, so clear and so blue. Imagine reclining under a coconut palm, a cool cocktail in your outstretched hand. Don't just imagine. Come to the Maldives.

Highlights of the Maldives

Experience the exceptional marine life and abundance of coral reefs that surround the islands. This is a diver's paradise, catering for beginners and experts. If diving is not for you, simply wade into the warm waters and go snorkelling. You won't be disappointed.

Go island hopping on a traditional Dhoni to get a glimpse of local life and culture in some of the nearby fishing villages.

Things to see and do

4 Star Resorts


For avid water sports enthusiasts this is nirvana, with a vast choice of activities including sailing, parasailing, windsurfing, water-skiing and big game fishing.

Most hotels have a nightly entertainment programme or themed nights. It's up to you whether you join in and dance the night away or simply chill out.


Bandos Island Resort
4 star
A beautiful coral island covered with lush tropical vegetation and numerous palm trees, Bandos is surrounded by a wide sandy beach and the warm, clear waters of an azure lagoon. Rooms are tucked discreetly away in the greenery, unseen from the beach, creating a true sense of escapism as you lie on the sands. In North Malé Atoll, Bandos is just seven kilometres from Malé International Airport.

Medhufushi Island Resort

Simply stunning Medhufushi is one of the most modern resorts in the Maldives, yet is constructed in traditional Maldivian style. Local materials including thatch and timber have been used to complement the natural beauty of this untouched and unspoiled atoll.
