Melbourne to Maldives Travel Guide
The Maldives is a sprawling nation of tiny islands scattered over the Indian Ocean. Look at a map, and you’ll see that most of the islands are set out in rings. These are atolls – coral loops left over from long extinct, sunken volcanoes. And each of the atolls has a different name and speciality. The cultural capital, Malé, dominates one atoll. Others are surf spots, some star pristine coral reefs and deep-sea caves, while others sit right on whale migration routes. But how to get there? Catch a 14.5-hour flight from Melbourne Airport.

Meanwhile, 5-star hotels deal out over-water villas and private reefs on the Noonu Atoll. And bright blue lagoons are the speciality of the Dhaalu Atoll. The Maldivian capital, Malé, occupies the North Malé Atoll. It’s the most populated of all the cities, starring Crayola-bright buildings and the ancient Old Friday Mosque.
