Located south-west of Sri Lanka, the Maldives is a group of just over 1000 islands contributing to 26 atolls, dotting the tropical waters of the Indian Ocean. Only four percent of its land mass peaks its head above water; Male, traditionally called the “Kings Island” is the capitol and the most populated city.
