Beautiful color of water

About
Maldives has about 1,200 islands, separated into a series of coral atolls, with only 200 of the islands are inhabited (worldatlas.com), and among all the atols, it is the Anantara Veli,  http://veli-maldives.anantara.com which is located in south male atol we chose to stay.  

South male atol is a 30-mins via speed boat from the airport compared to other islands that you need to go for a sea plane transfer that can cost as USD290/per person (Reethi Resort) or for more USD$575/per person (Viceroy Maldives) which approximately 30-45 mins travel time from Male airport. However, speed boat transfer can only cost USD$180.00/per person from Male aiport to Anantara Veli . And, since we will only be in  Maldives for 3 days we, decided to choose the nearest resort from  the airport.

After 30-mins of fun and joy ride in speedboat with other guests,  we arrived in Anatara Veli http://veli-maldives.anantara.com/. Upon arrival, a warm welcome greeted us by the staff and room was ready and anytime can check-in. The view from my room  (deluxe over-water bungalow) with crystal blue water and  white sands just in-front of the veranda was a picturesque.
