'Bucket-list destination', 'tropical oasis', 'paradise on earth' : Get ready to trot out the clichés, because when it comes to the Maldives every one of them is accurate.

The epitomy of a sea, sand and sun holiday, visitors lap up the tropical island paradise image.

But it's best to be well informed of your destination before winging off into the unknown so have a read through our detaled guide to the Maldives to make sure you know exactly what is waiting for you in this lovely part of the world.
