One of the most popular beaches in Maldives is the Veligandu Island beach, with creamy golden sand, snorkeling opportunities and wonderful marine life. Apart from unlimited relaxation, the beaches in Maldives also offer diving to explore the marine life more closely.

Besides the beauty and serenity, the beaches also have beautiful and well-facilitated resorts, hotels and guesthouses on their shores or nearby.
