Welcome to the Maldives

Sparkling white sand, azure waters and a cobalt-blue sky is a typical Maldivian view you won’t tire of. On land you’ll find tiny, perfect islands with lushly green interiors and pristine powder-sand beaches; and in the surrounding seas, colourful, untouched corals and breath-taking marine life. The Maldives truly are the ultimate tropical getaway and some of the most luxurious resorts in the world are scattered across these atolls.

A Maldives holiday is perfect for the ultimate beach escape. These mesmerising islands with their crystal clear lagoons and snow white, palm fringed beaches are ideal for a lazy rejuvenating break, a romantic honeymoon or a scuba diving safari. Pick the right resort, however, and you can also enjoy a luxurious family getaway filled with water-based activities. Luxury holidays to the Maldives are the stuff that dreams are made of. In recent decades tourism on the islands has reached an extraordinary level of sophistication and the Maldives are now home to some of the most stunningly beautiful and relaxing resorts on earth.

At Ampersand Travel, when organising tailormade Maldives holiday packages and honeymoons, we prefer to concentrate on the smaller, 5-star resorts, which guarantee absolute tranquillity and have wonderful levels of service. Reached by speedboat or seaplane, accommodation options range from water villas and garden bungalows to converted dhonis - traditional Maldivian fishing boats. The islands in the Maldives vary significantly in size, mood and style. Let us know exactly what you want and we will advise on the best options to make your holiday or honeymoon an unforgettable experience. We have been visiting these islands and organising sumptuous tailormade holidays and honeymoons to the Maldives for two decades - our customers can trust that their dream holiday to the Maldives is in safe hands with us.

Without question, you put together the best trip I have ever taken. We were shown around like visiting dignitaries, the hotels were fantastic and the itinerary was just right. Everybody I know will hear about how amazing Ampersand is!

Difficult to articulate just how good the service from you and your team really was. We know you will continue to do well and hope we have the chance to seek your assistance again before long.
- Mr & Mrs Manson, North India
I thought the Ampersand team was outstanding. We couldn’t have hoped for anything more.
- Mr Geoffrey Johnson, India
So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!
- Krista Weir, Sri Lanka
Ampersand provided a bespoke and flexible holiday, tailored to my every whim. Their highly professional staff had only one goal which was to arrange an exceptional holiday and some unforgettable experiences in India. I have no hesitation in fully recommending them and they will be the first company I approach in the future - 10/10
- Anonymous, India
I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India
We had a wonderful holiday - everything was perfect. Thank you for helping us to make a thoughtful plan to enjoy and make most out of our trip. The places we visited, the guides, the transportation and driver, the hotels selected... Everything was great!
- Jaime Benitez, South India
Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!
- Mr David Wallace, North India
I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.
- Matthew Nicklin, North India
Everything you did for us whilst we were away was hugely appreciated, and Ampersand has been exemplary in every way. I'll always recommend you!
