SINCE THE ISLAND country opened its doors to tourists in 1972, the Maldives has become the pinnacle of luxury destinations. Over the past five decades, travellers from all over the world have fallen in love with its crystalline waters, pristine beaches and dazzling views of the constellations, all accompanied by the unyielding hospitality inherent in Maldivian culture. With a collection of more than 1,000 islands in the Indian Ocean, it has also become a celebrity hideout for icons such as Sir Paul McCartney and Cristiano Ronaldo. The Maldives has successfully secured the title of the World’s Leading Destination for the third year in a row at the World Travel Awards 2022—an admirable feat considering the challenges faced by the hospitality industry worldwide since the onset of the pandemic.
The best part is that Velana International Airport, which is located on North Malé Atoll, is only about a four-hour flight from Singapore.
Whether you plan to lounge by the hypnotic waters all day or dive off the deck of an overwater bungalow, the plethora of luxury experiences that this tropical paradise offers is one of the many reasons why it has cemented its status as the ultimate vacation destination.
