Sorry, sorry but I am looking into holidays in the Maldives and am looking for some recommendations. I have been to Lily Beach and to Royal Island previously. The island needs to be fairly small as in not hundred's of rooms, have a dive centre (with good diving, think South Ari might be best for this?), have a good reef for snorkelling and relaxed bars. Not sure of the budget yet but less than the Banyan Tree costs for 2 weeks! Probably more a 4 or 5 star though (maybe about £5 - £6k for 10 - 14 nights). Am liking the Diva Maldives resort but again this may be too expensive. Haven't looked too much into prices yet but has anyone stayed at an island which they would recommend which would be friendly, relaxed, romantic, with bars (but not too lively) and must have the possibility to canoe around the island.
Hopefully I have ticked off all the necessary information, the only thing I haven't said is that it would be for 2 people. Thanks in advance. ? ?
