The white powdered sands of the sprinkled atolls that make up the Maldives have, for some time, enthralled travelers seeking peace and luxury in stunning surroundings. For holidaymakers looking to get to their beautiful, secluded Maldivian paradise as quickly and easily as possible - and who could blame them - resorts that can be reached by speedboat present an appealing option. Upon arrival at Male international airport, guests are met and immediately swept directly from the terminal to the boat and whisked to their island resort in as short a time as twenty minutes, regardless of the time of day or the weather conditions. The atolls accessible by speedboat are ideal for visitors who want to make the most of their time in paradise since the boats can be scheduled in line with return flights, allowing for maximum time spent paddling in warm crystal waters. What's more, these resorts are closer to the capital city of Male, which may attract travelers seeking a little taste of authentic Maldivian culture.
