The Maldives all inclusive from the UK from £761

Lying in the middle of the Indian Ocean's warm azure waters is the unique island nation of the Maldives, a barefoot paradise of over 1,000 tiny islands.

Of these, only about 70 have been developed for tourism and each is surrounded by its own little reef.

The Maldives is a dream come true with blue lagoons, palm-fringed beaches, blue lagoons and clear warm water. Almost deserted, white sandy beaches beg you to take a swim in the clearest turquoise seas, or dive down to Asia's finest underwater sites.
The dry season is between December and April and although it's still warm between May and November the humidity is higher and there is more chance of rain.
