Maldives Island aerial view
The Maldives, the smallest (and most paradisiac) country in Asia.



There is no other country in the World like The Maldives.
Located astride the equator, south of India and west of Sri Lanka, the all contry unique specificity resides in the Geography made of an exclusive formation of natural atolls, sandy islands and reefs streching along 823 km (511 miles) but occupying only an area of just 300 sq km (116 sq miles). 
With an average ground of 1.5 meter above the sea level, the country is today endangered by the global sea level rising.
All land above the surface in the Maldives is of coralline origin. 
The beauty of their lagoons and sandy beaches along with  their splendid aerial views make the Maldives an Absolute Paradise.
The origin of the word "atoll " itself derives from the Dhivehi language of the Maldives "Atholhu" and is now used in many languages worldwide.
