The sun-kissed Maldives Islands in the Indian Ocean are a foremost destination for tourists. Tourism began in the island country in the 1970s, and since that time has grown steadily in stature as a prime attraction for those who savour the typical delights of a tropical island. Over the past decades tourism has evolved to become the Maldives’ foremost source of foreign exchange earnings and the principal livelihood and the primary income provider for the people of the country.
The Maldives are renowned for their delightful climate, with the vast Indian Ocean acting to absorb the tropical heat. Levels of humidity are relatively high, but the continuous sea breezes provide a very pleasant environment for the holidaymaker.
Kudahuvadhoo is located in one of the Maldives archipelago’s populated islands, Dhaalu Atoll. Like many of the islands of the Maldives Kudahuvadhoo possesses delightful beaches and the typical sun, sand and surf; it has the distinction of being one of the Maldives’ premier tourist attractions.
A true paradise for divers, Kudahuvadhoo is easily reached from the airport by water taxi, or speedboat if you are in a hurry. Facilities are available for a variety of diving activities; the government of the Maldives has invested greatly on the resort venue, recognizing Kudahuvadhoo’s appeal for tourists from the world over. A comprehensively equipped diving school has been established on the island, providing instruction on diving for those interested.
There are several enigmatic mounds, the remains of Buddhist temples on the island which hint at a fairly advanced ancient civilization. These sites have not been completely excavated and analyzed, adding a touch of mystery to the environs.
The famed explorer Thor Heyerdahl stated that the masonry of the age-old mosque in Kudahuvadhoo was unequalled in the world; even surpassing Peru’s well known Inca Wall.
For the traveler looking for a Maldives resort, there is no finer choice than the Velassaru Maldives. This delightful Maldives Island hotel offers tropical delights in distinctive fashion.
