5 Maldives resorts worth the splash

A curated list for all beach lovers

The Maldives might just have the best water on Earth. It’s so clear you don’t even need your snorkeling gear to see the manta ray swim by – and even if you’re just wading through shallow waters, you’ll see fish in colours you’d never imagined. If you’re not swimming with them, you can go out and catch them, on an old wooden fishing boat, and spot some dolphins leaping in the sunset along the way.
