Q: How many islands make up the Maldives?
A: The number seems to vary slightly depending on who you ask but the official Maldives website says there are 1190 islands.
Caroline Clark says:
"This looks like bliss. i've visited another island (Meeru) which was amazing but this one looks great too. photos of the Maldives still don't prepare you for the beauty of the place and the richness of the colours - they take your breath away"
