Away from the five-star hotels and beyond luxury hideaways, Tom
Chesshyre travels to see the real, unexplored Maldives, skirting
around the archipelago's periphery, staying at simple guesthouses,
and using cargo ships and ferries. He discovers that beyond the
glossy brochures lies an almost undiscovered country that is
brimming with life, yet also a paradise teetering on the brink of
trouble. In the Maldives outsiders used to be banned from islands
not officially endorsed as tourist resorts, but now a thousand
sandy shores can be visited in this remote nation deep in the
Indian Ocean the flattest on Earth. This is island-hopping for the
twenty-first century, sailing around 600 miles of the most
beautiful islands and atolls on Earth, often to communities that
have not seen an outsider for decades, ...and gatecrashing the odd
posh hotel.
