A BRIEF HISTORY
The Maldives is a tropical paradise renowned for its azure waters and pristine beaches. However, the archipelago has a rich sailing history that predates its transformation into a tourist destination. The Maldives was an important stopover for traders and sailors for centuries.
The first recorded settlers in the Maldives were from Arabia, and they arrived by boat around 2,000 BCE. Since then, the islands have been a strategically located stopover for traders traveling between the Middle East and Asia. In the 12th century, Persian explorer Ibn Battuta described the Maldives as “one of the wonders of the world.”
The modern era of tourism in the Maldives began in 1972 when the country’s first resort was built on an uninhabited island. Today, there are over 100 resorts scattered across the archipelago, and tourism is the Maldives’ main source of income. Most visitors relax on the beautiful beaches and enjoy the stunning underwater scenery. However, sailing enthusiasts can enjoy plenty of opportunities to explore the Maldives by boat.
It’s easy to see why experiencing a sailing cruise within these idyllic islands is the best way to explore The Maldives. See for yourself! Book today!
