I've got space in my board bag, just chuck your bindings in your luggage.

Hi me and my wife are thinking of going in September and I was wondering what resort your stayed in and who it was booked through and what type of villa did you have we were thinking of a water villa but friends have said the beach ones are just as nice what's your view on that?

Ok frayz I would love to I just dont have the holiday time.
Andy these pics were taken on my galaxy s3 phone lol.
Ljf they were taken on an island called Meedhupparu in the Maldives.
Derek as above the island was Meedhupparu we stayed in a beach villar. The water villas were an extra £1500 for two weeks. But you get a lot me included in the all inclusive such as mini bar and more restaraunts. We upgraded out there for one night to a water villa as it was our honeymoon but that worked out more expensive. But it was amazing, the only thing with the water villas is you are very much more secluded where as in the beach villas you get to meet a lot more people.
We booked through Thompson but the tour operator was hayes and jarvis.
It was a once in a lifetime holiday true paradise and I would recommend going to anyone especially if you like snorkeling scuba diving and the ocean and its life.

What an amazing place it is out there. We went a few years ago and got a water bungalow, what an amazing holiday, would recommend that everyone goes at least once.

We did quite a few dives also, before the kids we enjoyed our diving for a few years, best sight ever was three giant mantas swimming over us. Wong span was prob in excess of six foot.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Cheers Fozz we did it was so amazing mate.
We had a go at divinig which was amazing. I agree totally everyone should try and go once. They reckon that due to rising sea levels most of the Maldives will be gone in 50 years as most of the island's are only a meter above sea level.
