Maldives island distribution map

Among the 1,190 islands in the Maldives, more than 150 have been developed into resort hotels under the "one island, one hotel" model. There are more than 200 islands inhabited by local people. The main means of transportation between islands are boats and seaplanes. Each island in the Maldives was developed by an independent hotel operator, so one island and one hotel has become the unique tourism culture of the Maldives.
