Destination introduction

Maldives holidays conjure up images of white sands, swaying palm trees and crystal blue waters, creating a picture-perfect holiday bliss. Kuoni’s hand-picked islands offer first-class, luxurious accommodation, spectacular diving and enchanting, dazzling sunsets for romantic memories.

Shopping

If you visit Malé, you’ll see plenty of street merchants offering beautiful Maldivian postage stamps. Those ragged dentures suspended outside gift shops are sharks’ jaws. Attractive T-shirts are stencilled before your eyes, generally with brilliantly coloured tropical fish.

The islanders are expert in carving coconut wood and use it to decorate their houses. Mat-weaving, basket-making and coir rope-making are long-standing crafts. Mats are woven from haa grass. There is some highlydeveloped lacquer work and you may see examples of handloom weaving or jewellery handcrafted in gold and mother of pearl.
