Sydney to Maldives Travel Guide

The Maldives is a tropical island nation that stretches out in the Indian Ocean south of India. Islands gather in rings – called atolls – that were once the rims of ancient volcanoes that now lie below sea level.
Flights from Sydney head for the capital city, Malé. Tropical-hued buildings and historic mosques hide between the skyscrapers here. And the jetties are launch pads for many of the seaplanes that propel you to one of the 1,200-plus paradisal islands.

For many, the Maldives are the couples’ beach destination du jour.

The Baa Atoll is a great starting point. White beaches, coconut palms and miles of offshore reefs are all present and correct. As is the norm in the Maldives, there’s usually one hotel per tiny island, and it’ll usually star the iconic over-water suites. Best of all, it’s a protected UNESCO Biosphere Reserve – and a world-class scuba diving territory.
The capital city, Malé, is the place for a shot of Maldivian culture. The ornate Malé Friday Mosque and National Museum make themselves at home between the colourful high-rises.
