Book Description

Country Guide October 1, 2006
You’re not dreaming - it really is this good. The Maldives is the world epicentre of tropical luxury. Raise a cocktail-filled glass in your lavish over-water villa to this extraordinary patch of paradise: picture-perfect coral atolls strewn across the cobalt-blue Indian Ocean. Stretch out on blissful beaches in the fringed shade of coconut palms - go on, you deserve it. This bestselling guide is your passport to the holiday of a lifetime.

Choose Wisely – our author gives you the facts before you book your stay; the Choosing a Resort chapter and detailed listings compare all the resorts.

Submerge – our Snorkelling, Diving & Surfing chapter gives you the when, where and how on getting the best out of all the offshore pursuits.

Know The Background – dedicated History and Culture chapters give you the picture behind the postcards.

Jump The Fence – we give you the options on escaping your resort and meeting the locals.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good place to start..., August 25, 2002
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lonely Planet Maldives (Paperback)
There are four main tour books for the Maldives, and this one is a good place to start. (Another good one is the Michelin guide.) This book gives a general overview of the islands and many of the resorts. Divers will want the Divers' Guide to the Maldives to fill out the information here.

4.0 out of 5 stars LP Maldives, November 2, 2004
This review is from: Lonely Planet Maldives (Paperback)
I find this guide very useful in terms of choosing the resorts. It has good descriptions of all the resorts in terms of facilities, clients, food served and activities. The resorts are in different chapters according to the different atolls. So, it is a good guide for choosing the right resort according to one's taste

Like all Lonely Planet guides, a mine of useful information, that proves invaluable in picking the resort that best suits your interests and pocket. A good section on diving and snorkelling. Well worth the money.
