The Maldives is formed from a chain of coral islands resting on a submerged mountain ridge range off the coast of India. Here, crystal clear water, white sand beaches, amazing coves and breathtaking lagoons are home to picturesque rustic-chic villas. Popular with sailors, the Maldives offers shelter from the Indian Ocean among its countless protected, deep-water anchorages.
The Maldives is an archipelago (island group) made up of about 1,190 coral islands formed around 26 natural atolls. Atolls are ring-shaped islands, in the Maldives, each atoll is made of a coral reef encircling a lagoon. The islands stretch like a luxurious jade green garland across the equatorial band. A yacht charter here allows you to experience every possible shade of aqua and turquoise along with pristine soft white sands.
