Maldives, South Ari Atoll

Since arriving in Asia Pacific region we always had our sights on a dream vacation to the Maldive Islands.  We carefully chose the best place to stay for our family that offered all the luxuries the Maldives has to offer; world class snorkeling, all inclusive dining/drinks, bungalows over the water, water sports and so much more.  Our choice for the resort was the Centara Grand Island Resort and Spa.

The island was truly a barefoot paradise which you could quickly walk from one end to the other.  It was incredible to be staying on an island in the middle of the Indian Ocean and be completely carefree.  Just a little more information on the Maldives..  It is actually comprised on more than 1,000+ coral islands, but only 80 of them have tourist resorts.  The islands were actually not known to tourist until the late 1970's.  The islands are rich in history, marine life and culture.  I could go on and on, however our family knows it best for it's amazing comforts and relaxation!  Only pictures can describe this trip and we hope to return one day to experience the beauty of mother nature at it's best!
