There’s a certain look people give when they hear you’ve been to the Maldives: like you’ve just gotten married or bought your first home. There’s awe, a dash of envy, but mostly keen anticipation as they wait to bask in the reflected joy of the experience. Once you’ve been, you soon realise - going to the Maldives really does feel like a life event.
The island nation is scattered across the top half of the Indian Ocean, bathed in the kind of glorious, golden daylight rarely seen in the UK. They’re famous for their outrageous beauty; think euphorically blue water, soft sands and palm trees ruffling in the breeze, all complemented with some of the most luxurious resorts on the planet. No wonder it’s a honeymoon hotspot.
