Maldives with villas and turquoise ocean

Maldives resort villas and bungalows line a sandy beach beside turquoise ocean water. Palm trees grow along the shore, while small waves reach the pale sand and curve around the island coast. The elevated view shows the relationship between the accommodations, beach, and open water. Bright tropical daylight reveals the shallow water near the shoreline and deeper blue areas farther out. The coast combines a narrow strip of sand, clusters of palms, and low buildings surrounded by water.
