If anywhere on Earth epitomised an untouched tropical paradise, it would be the Maldives: Most of the islands have been left undeveloped, and an emphasis on sustainability to preserve the reefs for future fishing and tourism – the country’s two biggest sectors – is paramount. Malé is a centre for the Maldives culture, and visitors can spend an afternoon discovering the ancient past in the museums or shopping in the galleries and markets for presents and souvenirs. There is little else to distract you from the natural beauty of the Maldivian atolls, and once you’ve completed a walking tour of the capital there’s the option to visit the marine parks and reserves to view some of the greatest natural wonders in the region.
