(October 6, 2020) The Maldives never fails to stimulate the senses. Across this idyllic archipelago, the blue of the ocean shimmers, shines and glitters, reflecting the light and life above and beneath the waves – cerulean skies, soft sand banks, colourful coral. Mirroring these changing hues, Accor offers five resorts in the Maldives that reflect five different moods, tones and experiences across the alluring islands. From intimate couples escapes to activity-filled family breaks, guests are invited to immerse themselves in the blue beauty of the Maldives.
