THE MALDIVES IS synonymous with crystal-clear waters, luxury experiences and fine dining. But the tropical escape is also home to some of the world’s best reefs and marine life, which makes it the getaway of choice for diving aficionados. If you’re craving for an underwater adventure, then pack your bags and head to Milaidhoo Island Maldives.

A mere 30-minute seaplane flight from Maldives International Airport, Milaidhoo is housed in the magnificent Baa Atoll’s UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The atoll’s plankton-rich waters set it right at the heart of manta ray migration routes, making Miladhoo the go-to resort for those who want an up-close glimpse of these gentle monochrome giants.
