The Maldives is a palm-fringed archipelago famous for overwater bungalows, crystalline lagoons, and world-class diving. Nearly all visitors are honeymooners, divers, or leisure travelers seeking pristine beaches and marine life; the islands are compact and tourism-dependent.

Velana International Airport (MLE) near the capital Malé is the sole international gateway. Immigration is swift and straightforward, with English-speaking staff and modern facilities; transfers to island resorts typically depart immediately after clearance.
