How about a trip to Maldives

Maldives

SummaryA Brief Summary

The lowest lying nation on earth, with a maximum height of 5m… yes, 5, i.e. equivalent to a 2 storey building, these islands are exceptionally prone to sea level rises being witnessed due to climate change. For the time being however, they really are making hay while the sun shines, and it does so in March more than any other month. If you’re after beaches as white and soft as sugar, seas as blue as your favourite hollywood icon’s eyes and hotels so decadent they have underwater restaurants (bit mean letting the surviving fish see what might become of them one day… ), then you have no choice, but to visit the Maldives. Paradise is a word used to excess nowadays and really should be reserved for places like this. But, if you’re on a tight budget, you’re best off looking elsewhere, these are fast becoming resorts accessible only to those who own houses, cars and planes we mere mortals can only dream of!
