An archipelago of 1190 coral islands, Maldives and its palm tree laced white silvery beaches and pristine clear blue lagoons swarmed with marine life attracts thousands of tourists. These islands could be the first islands in the world to disappear as eighty percent of the total land is less than three meters above sea level and it is believed that by the end of this century the islands could be completely gone. Visitors are allowed only on 11 of the 26 atolls to preserve the local culture Diving into the coral reef, lazing around in a hammock on the beaches under the sea, surfing, and going snorkeling or relaxing in a spa is the best things n can do while in Maldives.
