Flight FAQs
From Melbourne to Maldives
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.
