Maldives, a tropical island with pristine blue waters and white sandy beaches; it lies south of the Indian subcontinent. It’s actually a group of 26 round atolls with hundreds of coral islands. Maldives cropped up in international tourism in the 1970s, and since then its name conjures images of beaches, blue lagoons, and beautiful reefs. With booming tourism industry, the island is slowing moving from a fisheries based economy to a tourism based economy. Coming back to the tourism part, this blog explain the five things you should see or do when you visit Maldives:

Additionally, the artificial beach is also host to a number of water sports and music shows.
