Swim and snorkel in The Maldives’ turquoise waters. The best possible way to relax at the end of your holiday
The most northerly atolls have more of a desert island feel, being so geographically isolated from the capital Male in the central region of the Maldives.
Historically, the relative proximity of these islands to India has been significant: it is believed that Buddhism, which was the predominant religion until the 12th Century, was first introduced to the northern island of Ihavandhu by a Southern Indian prince. And the Maldivian language, Dhivehi, which has Indo-Iranian roots with Arabic influences, is likely to have evolved in this northern region.
Their distance from the capital means fewer visitors and a more untouched feel, with various resorts providing peaceful, luxurious escapes. For those seeking seclusion with a touch of heritage, the northern atolls feel a world away.

Sri Lanka & The Maldives Holiday (May to September)
Holidays in Sri Lanka from May to September are one of the travel industry’s best-kept secrets, but it can be tricky to know where to go. In the north, central, and east of the island, the weather can be superb and a well-crafted itinerary will mean you’ll have plenty of sunshine. The timing makes it ideal for a family summer holiday, and the quieter season means it’s perfect for a honeymoon.
This itinerary will show you the main highlights of Sri Lanka as well as something a little different with our unique cultural experiences. You’ll also have the chance to explore the beautiful and mostly undiscovered eastern coast of the country before flying off to the Maldives to relax in style for four nights. For more ideas, don’t hesitate to give us a call.
