If you’re active on Instagram, you’ve likely seen surreal-looking photos capturing the swirling electric blues of the Maldives<\/a> and its famous overwater villas. You might know someone who’s ventured there on their honeymoon. But what may not be as crystal clear as those Maldivian waters is exactly where the Maldives are located.<\/p>\n

Mystery solved: The spectacularly beautiful island nation officially called the Republic of Maldives is part of South Asia and is in the Indian Ocean. It’s nearly 450 miles southwest of the tip of mainland India and is the smallest country in all of Asia. Although it’s made up of more than 1,100 individual coral islands, only a fraction of them are inhabited. Each of its 26 atolls comprises multiple isles and lagoons. The Maldives is the world’s lowest and flattest country, with its highest point less than 8 feet above sea level.<\/p>\n
