While overwater villas in the Maldives are a major highlight here, the opportunity to go below into the colourful world of fishes and corals is unmissable. Underwater experiences in the Maldives range from luxury ocean spas to restaurants submerged under the water where you can dine as fish swim by.
Here’s some of the best places to enjoy under the sea in the Maldives…
