The Maldives consists of a myriad of islands, about a hundred of which are inhabited. These specks of emerald green enveloped by dazzling turquoise waters are scattered like beads in the Indian ocean; white powdery beaches, tall palms trees, lush vegetation, crystal clear waters, shades of turquoise blend flawlessly with deeper hues of blue; pristine coral reefs and some of the most incredible underwater life on our planet.
