What do tourists value most in the Maldives? Shopping here is not as brisk as in the UAE, Turkey or Egypt. There are no such incendiary parties to the sounds of samba, as in the resorts of the Dominican Republic or Cuba. There is no "lady-boy show", as in Thailand. But the Maldives conquers the heart of tourists to others, namely the Relax Atmosphere. These two words really need to be written with capital letters, since they are the main slogan of the tourism industry of the island nation.
Tell the knowledgeable traveler the word “Maldives”, and he will immediately remember the quiet bungalows on stilts in the middle of a turquoise lagoon, about the endless bliss in your own pool, about dinners in the light of torches on the beach, about aromatic massages, about sunsets or insanely beautiful sunsets, which you see from the bungalow terrace. It is this atmosphere of relaxation that is painstakingly created in Atmosphere Kanifushi Maldives A Premium All-Inclusive Resort 5 *. Let us take a closer look at the amenities, rooms and services at this hotel.
How to get to Maldives
Inaccessibility is the only minus of the island state. The Maldives is a collection of archipelagos, and those, in turn, consist of islets or sparsely populated atolls. All international flights are accepted by the airport. I. Nasira, located near the capital, the city of Male, on the island of Hulul. There, tourists do not stay long.

Russian tourists can get to the Maldives from Moscow by direct flight. How much to fly to this tropical paradise? If you get a direct regular Aeroflot flight (it leaves from Sheremetyevo on Wednesdays and Saturdays), then the trip will take about nine hours.
