All in all, being in Maldivian resorts are an extremely pleasant experience, no matter which island you choose to stay. The designs maybe eclectic, they may vary from the most sophisticated to the basic - but they have all succeeded in cultivating their own identities and holding on to a basic Maldivian authenticity that is extremely appealing. Perhaps it is this blissful marriage between Maldivian traditions and international sophistication which has made Maldives one of the most exclusive island holiday destinations in the world today.

A Maldivian tourist resort, by the Maldivian definition, is an island all by itself. These resorts have been planned, designed and built especially for you - the holidaymaker. There are over 85 resort islands in the Maldives today. With all the islands resembling each other so closely from beach to vegetation and from lagoon to the vast ocean surrounding it, resort owners face quite a challenge trying to build and maintain an individual identity. It has to be said, though, that many have met the challenge head on and achieved admirable success. The quest is to build a resort, with its own personality and atmosphere. Thus, the resulting vast selection of islands to choose from to match your own personality and needs.
