The powder-sand beaches and bright turquoise waters of the Maldives offer the perfect remedy to a hectic lifestyle. Dive into a Maldives yacht charter for pure barefoot luxury.

The Maldives is a tropical destination that is best explored by superyacht to make the most of its hidden treasures. Spanning over 107,000 square kilometres and some 1,100 islands – of which only 200 are inhabited – the Maldives is a peaceful paradise.

Think crisp white sandy beaches on remote atolls only accessible by yacht or boat, with sparkling clear water lapping at your ankles. This is barefoot luxury at its very best.

Water lovers will surely be drawn to make the most of a superyacht’s tenders and toys, whether you wish to head below the surface snorkelling and diving, or enjoy  the fantastic windsurfing and kitesurfing conditions.

Most superyacht charters start from the capital Malé. Cultural highlights include the bustling fish market, the 17th Century Old Mosque built entirely from coral, and the colourful bungalow-style Muliaa’ge Palace, completed in 1919, for the future Sultan by his father.

The Kuda Bandos island in the Malé Atoll has a fantastic tropical forest where you can explore the local flora and fauna, including unique species of tropical bird and reptile.

Diving is a popular pursuit for many visiting the Maldives. Head to the nutrient-rich coral reef of the Ari Atoll to swim among the huge schools of tropical fish as well as barracuda and vast groups of manta rays.

Head over to the reef sites at Madivaru, Mushimasmigili or Kandholhudho,  equally enjoyable when explored by snorkel or in full dive gear.

Africa Banks is a particular favourite spot for many visiting superyachts, and charter guests can enjoy the local fishing and diving followed by a beach barbecue at sunset.

To experience the indigenous culture, head to Dhigurah or Mamigili, where local communities continue practising their centuries-old way of life.
