The Maldives is a tropical archipelago in the Indian Ocean, consisting of 1,190 coral islands spread across an area of 26,000 square kilometers. Despite its size, it is home to just over 540,000 people, most of whom live on the capital island, Malé.
The Maldives sits on the equator, offering year-round tropical warmth. The country experiences two distinct seasons: the dry northeast monsoon (November-April) and the wet southwest monsoon (May-October). Average temperatures remain around 28-30°C throughout the year.
Maldivian culture is deeply rooted in Islam, reflected in local customs, cuisine, and daily life. The people are warm, welcoming, and proud of their heritage. Traditional fishing remains important, though tourism now drives the economy. Local Dhivehi is the native language, though English is widely spoken in tourism areas.
The Maldives is a paradise for marine enthusiasts. Coral reefs teem with colorful fish, sea turtles, rays, and reef sharks. The warm waters host whale sharks (June-November) and manta rays. Diving and snorkeling are world-class, with over 80 dive sites.
The Maldives has a rich maritime history, once a major trade hub between Arabia, India, and Southeast Asia. It was a sultanate for centuries before becoming a British protectorate, then gaining independence in 1965. Today, it is a democratic republic and a top tourist destination.
Boats and speedboats are the primary transport between islands. Domestic flights connect distant atolls. On inhabited islands, walking or local ferries are common. The country has no roads between islands.
