An incredible way to kick off your Maldives holiday
“There's something pretty special about travelling by seaplane. The view from the sky is extraordinary - tiny specs of island and shades of blue that barely look real.”
Jeremy FisherKuoni Travel Expert
The iconic, mile-long sandbank
Perfect for isolated sunbathing, dramatic photoshoots, and watching breathtaking Maldivian sunsets.
Snorkelling and diving isn't the only way to catch sight of the underwater world
“If snorkelling and diving isn't for you, it's possible to catch a glimpse of the reef from a glass-bottomed boat instead.”

Antigua
Hand Crafted Guided Tour of Antigua
The adventure begins with a drive through the diverse vegetation of the Antigua Rainforest to get to your first stop, Nelson's Dockyard National Park. This historic landmark was developed as a British Navy base in the late 18th Century but gradually became abandoned in the 19th Century before completely closing in 1889. Today, Nelson's Dockyard has been rejuvenated and labelled as a World Heritage Site and has a unique combination of rich heritage and beautiful surroundings. Moving on from the dockyard, you'll head up to Shirley Heights to admire the iconic views overlooking the English Harbour which stretch as far as Montserrat, and Guadeloupe. Back in the day, this lookout was a hugely important signal station to alert the entire island of any approaches to the harbour. Today, however, it’s a spot that people flock to for postcard-worthy pictures. • Year-round departures • Departs daily • Duration: 4 to 6 hours

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a visa to visit the Maldives?
British passport holders are issued a free 30-day visitor visa on arrival. You'll need a passport valid for the duration of your stay, a confirmed onward ticket and proof of your accommodation booking.
When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
November to April is the dry season, with the most reliable sunshine and calmest seas. May to October brings shorter rain showers, lower prices and better surf.
What currency is used in the Maldives, and do I need cash?
The local currency is the Maldivian rufiyaa, but resorts price and bill in US dollars and take major cards. Most guests never need cash — a small amount is handy for tipping.
Is the Maldives good for honeymoons outside peak season?
Yes. Off-peak brings noticeably lower rates and quieter islands, and rain tends to come in short bursts rather than all day. Many resorts add honeymoon extras during these months.
What activities are there for older kids and teens in the Maldives?
Most resorts run watersports centres with windsurfing, kayaking and paddleboarding, plus PADI dive courses from around age ten. Snorkelling safaris, sandbank trips and night fishing all suit older children.
