Maldives is a magnificent collection of 26 atolls scattered in an archipelago of more than a thousand islands in the Indian Ocean, each with something unique to offer the holidaymaker.

Maldives has opened its borders to tourists of all nationalities and there will be no further incoming travel restrictions to the country. Read the full statement by the Ministry of Tourism here.

Take advantage of a World Leisure Holidays special between 1 October and 1 November for an unforgettable break at the magnificent Kihaa Maldives resort for a 7-night stay in a beach villa.

The resort has a selection of 124 villas and suites, with rooms either suspended over the turquoise waters or nestled along one of the white sand beaches — all with spectacular views of the Indian Ocean.

Located on Kihaadhuffaru Island, Kihaa Maldives resort is the ultimate destination for the traveller who seeks to experience the beauty of Nature in a heavenly setting, while also having the opportunity to dine in luxury and enjoy all manner of water sports and island-hopping excursions.

Kihaa Maldives is in the heart of the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Its unique protected location offers an unmatched underwater world where guests can swim among whale sharks and manta rays as they come into the bay to feed. The shallow reefs afford spectacular opportunities to snorkel and interact up close with the abundant marine life and for the more adventurous, PADI certified diving courses are available.

Children and teenagers are well catered for with a Kids Club and babysitting services are available if required.

At the end of the day, indulge in a magical massage or any of the exotic therapies on offer at the Spa, and then drift off on a cloud of relaxation to dine at an international buffet at the Malaafaiy Restaurant.

As the sun sets over the Indian Ocean, enjoy a range of cocktails at Undhoali Bar and soak in the splendour of this Maldivian getaway.

Let World Leisure Holidays plan your ultimate break in Maldives!
