Is the Maldives worth it?

The Maldives delivers what almost nowhere else can: overwater villas in 28°C turquoise water with house reefs, attentive service and total seclusion. For honeymoons, anniversaries and pure-beach retreats, it is unbeatable. But the Maldives is not a destination of cultural depth — there are no major historic sites, no hiking beyond the resort island, and resorts are functionally similar. For travellers who want a sense of place, the Seychelles, Sri Lanka or Bali deliver more.

Yes for honeymoons, anniversaries and pure-beach holidays. No if you want cultural depth, hiking or a sense of place beyond an island resort.
