Advantages: Beautiful views

Disadvantages: Costly

Probably the best holiday I have ever enjoyed and certainly the most exotic was the time I went to the Maldives with my boyfriend. The Maldives are a group of scattered islads in the Indian Ocean and hey are incredibly beautiful, some of the islands were hit by the tsunami but as tourism is their major industry then there have been a number of new resorts built.

The capital is Male and our resort was on an island about a thirty minute boat transfer away. We stayed on Thurlhagiri Island on the resort there and it truly was idyllic, our beach bugalow was on stilts over the water and you could look out of a wonderfully clear ocean while you enjoyed breakfast or a drink in the evening.

It was probably one of the most relaxing holidays I have been on however we also did some sailing on a couple of trips and also some snorkelling, being islands much of the activities centre around the sea as does the food with lots of seafood to be enjoyed.

I found the service to be excellent and the only downside to the whole holiday was the coming home and the cost of it all which made it a once in a lifetime trip for us unless we win the lottery.

Summary: Great venue
