Dubbed as a paradise for honeymooners, the Maldives is also a visual buffet for those who simply appreciate a good selfie backdrop. Its mesmerising collection of colourful coral reefs and stunning marine life makes it evident why it's the fancy pants of the underwater world. But be warned, perhaps the most aggressive thing you'll encounter here is a mimosa plant! Come for the stunning beaches, stay for the warm, sun-kissed laziness that even napping seagulls tend to exhibit.
