Discover our guide to the atolls of the Maldives: the perfect tool to help you choose your perfect Maldives escape.<\/strong><\/em>\u202f<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Maldives<\/a> is a gorgeous archipelago made up of 26 atolls (and over 1100 islands), each boasting its own unique charm. The North Mal\u00e9 Atoll, South Mal\u00e9 Atoll and Ari Atoll are closest to the island nation\u2019s capital city of Mal\u00e9, but it\u2019s definitely worth exploring further afield if you have the opportunity.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With lush paradisiacal islands lapped by the clearest, most stunningly azure waters, the islands within these atolls are the ideal locations for a tropical getaway. The natural beauty of this amazing corner of the world has been lovingly protected and is flourishing, meaning you\u2019ll always have somewhere to explore. Wherever you go in the Maldives, you\u2019ll be welcomed with open arms and treated to a delightful culture with a rich history that is still present in the archipelago\u2019s architecture, art, crafts and incredible food.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n
