If you have been at the Maldives lately, you may have witnessed the seldom coral blooming; especially from the seaplane you were able to see the brown-reddish discoloration of the sea. Also at Mirihi we had some of the “pollen” washed ashore. Even though a coral blooming is rather awkward on the beach – please remember that this is the best sign that the corals are growing.
Are you looking for pure relaxation and some calm and warmth before Christmas? Come and visit our little paradise! We still have rooms available at the beginning of November and mid December!
