Maldives At A Glance
Maldives, officially known as the Republic of the Maldives and also referred to as the Maldives Islands, is an island nation in the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea. The country is made up of 1,190 coral islands formed around 26 natural ring-like atolls in the north of equator on Indian Ocean. The islands sit in the sea and the land area is completely disconnected from other countries. Maldives is one of the many countries located on the equator which divides North Pole and South Pole. The country is stretched narrowly from north to south of the globe and equator crosses between Fuvahmulah and Gaafu Dhaalu atoll in the southern parts of the nation. The Maldives is made of a coral reef encircling a lagoon, with deep channels dividing the reef ring. It is the perfect place to sit on a beach and watch a sunset with a cocktail on your hand.

Meemu Atoll
Meemu Atoll, also known as Mulaku Atoll, is a Maldives administrative division. The name “Mulaku” is thought to have come from the local word “mula,” which refers to a type of hardwood tree that was once abundant in the area. The atoll is also known as “Mulakatolhu,” which means “the lagoon of Mulaku.”
The atoll is well-known for its white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, making it a popular destination for tourists visiting the Maldives to enjoy the natural beauty. The atoll also has a diverse marine life, making it a popular snorkeling and diving destination.
Alimatha Island
Alimatha Island is located on the eastern edge of Maldives, in Vaavu Atoll. White-golden sand beaches release all the stress and the greenery around this place gives this island a peaceful vibe and makes this place even more beautiful.
The main reason why this island is a perfect holiday spot is because people enjoy here and have a great time far away from the daily hustle-bustle and is more relaxing as resorts here do not offer tv or telephone facilities so that you have a great time without any distraction.
