Our 188 resorts are spread over 20 atolls. The most resorts are in North Malé Atoll (41), South Malé Atoll (22), Raa Atoll (19) and South Ari Atoll (19).
The Maldives is made up of 26 natural atolls, rings of coral reef enclosing lagoons and islands. For travellers, the atoll you choose decides how long your transfer takes, what marine life you are likely to see and how many other resorts are nearby.
