The beautiful white sands and the enveloping turquoise blue waters are your reason for visiting the Maldives – so make the most of them. Our favourites are the tranquil coves found away from the resorts – many of which are too small to build on and therefore slightly more secluded than others on the islands, though islands and resorts such as Reethi Rah, Cocoa Island and Landaa Giraavaru are all breathtaking.
