Imagine a string of white sand island hideaways gently rising out of crystal waters. A republic of 1,190 coral islands spread across 26 atolls in the Indian Ocean, the Maldives is a first choice for those whose idea of paradise is a perfect, peaceful, permanently sunny island with swaying palm trees, pure white beaches, and brilliant turquoise lagoons.
The ethnic origins of the Maldivian people remain a mystery, though it’s known that the island has been a melting pot for African, Arabic and southeast Asian mariners. During recent decades the Maldivian way of life has been changing in all aspects to keep pace with the expanding tourist industry, but the lifeline remains the sea and the year still follows the Muslim calendar.
