From the air, the atolls of the Maldives look like turquoise constellations. As you approach land, they’re moresimilar to emeralds set in white-sea shore bezels: absolutely delightful. Flying off to the Maldives with the British Airways is a bucket list cliché for a reason – beloved by celebrities, remembered by all who visit, these islands really could be the most beautiful spot on earth.
