  The
resort islands do not differ greatly, except in shape: whichever one you
choose will have superb, palm-fringed, fine sand beaches. Accommodation
is usually in a thatched-roof bungalows, sometimes built over the water,
with facilities varying from simple to luxurious. Each resort is a self-contained
community with its own sport and leisure facilities, restaurants, shops,
sometimes entertainment such as a disco, and generally its own private reef.
Scores of uninhabited isles have been developed as resort communities. Most
of these can be found in North and South Male' (Kaafu) Atoll, also in Vaavu,
Baa, Lhaviyani and Alifu (Ari) Atoll. Under the sea are wonders which more
than make up for the lack of land monuments. You can take your ease in an
underwater grotto and observe this other world going about its mysterious
business, weaving skeins of colour through a translucent sea. To protect
it, spear fishing is strictly prohibited. |
