Atolls in the Maldives
Land of 1,200 islands
Made up of ringlike atolls such as this one, the Maldives is a nation of only 297 square kilometres of land spread over 90,650 square kilometres of water. But what bright and beautiful land it is. Visit one of this archipelagic nation's nearly 1,200 islands and you'll never be far from the rich aquamarine of the Indian Ocean – and there's not much to obstruct your view, either. Here in the world's flattest country, the highest point is a roughly 5-metre hill located at a golf resort.

This sea-level nation lies so low, its highest point can be found at a golf resort.
