The Maldives In Photos

You are in for a treat today because Beth of Besudesu Abroad, the girl who is in love with Asia, will be sharing with us a truly special place that some of us dream of visiting – the extraordinary Maldives. Beth is a passionate traveller who always looks to connect with the places she visits is a genuine way. I look forward to meeting up with this girl once again in Hong Kong for a dim sum treat this year. Now let her transport you over to the Maldives. 

When the word paradise comes to mind, no country better embodies this word than the Maldives. Isolated in the Indian Ocean, the Maldives is made up of 26 atolls and almost 1,200 islands—only which 200 of are inhibited. The sheer amount of colors in the Maldives was amazing, only adding to the beauty of this pristine ocean paradise.

    Stunning photos! Have always wanted to visit the Maldives but have always assumed it would be far too expensive – do you know if it is possible to do it on a tight budget?

    What a beautiful collection! This is the epitome of paradise on earth. It’s on my top places to visit but it just seems so far away from CA. I feel relaxed just looking at these pictures. One of these days…Thanks for the inspiration in the meantime.

    Beautiful photos. Anything with palm trees and empty beaches makes me want to visit. That and the crystal clear waters.
