We booked this year's visit to the Maldives with Kuoni and chose to stay at Biyadhoo Island which is in the South Male Atoll. If you are not familiar with the Maldives I will give you a brief introduction.
The Maldives are a group of islands which are close to The Equator and are south west of Sri Lanka.

**PASSPORT CONTROL**
We were the only flight ...
