Lowest-lying Country, Maldives
They say the sea has secrets that mountains will never know, and perhaps nowhere is this more true than in the Maldives, the world’s lowest-lying country. Resting just 1.5 metres above sea level on average, its islands seem to float like delicate pearls scattered across the Indian Ocean. Yet, what makes the Maldives extraordinary is the experience of being wrapped in turquoise lagoons, coral gardens alive with colour, and soft sands that feel like silk beneath your feet. It’s an invitation to step into a slower rhythm, where every ripple and breeze reminds you of life’s fleeting beauty.
