Maldives hotels
The Maldives has a very large choice of resorts. They are all "resort" hotels so you wont find any youth hostels or cheap hotels. Most resorts take up their own island ( any thing from 1500m by 1500m down to 500m by 500m) What this does mean that the ratio of beach to guest must be one of the best in the world and it is hard to imagine that you would ever have to struggle to find your own private piece of beach to relax on. The range and themes or the resorts is impressive, most people will find one they like. Starting from bed and breakfast 3* ( European stars) level which none the less benefit from the wonderful water beaches and scenery. All the way up to something like Soneva Gili (in North Male) with its completely water locked stilted bungalows with their personal rowing boat and oarsman to take you to and from dry land. Lots of the resorts have a no shoes policy and with such soft sands it is easy to love this idea. The resorts also vary enormously in distance from the airport on the island next to Male. (Soneva Gili is 10 mins boat ride by and velavaru is 45mins plane ride). Don't let that put you off as the further from Male you get generally the more peacefully the islands and the better the diving.
