The Maldives enjoy one of the most beautiful clusters of beaches anywhere, which is why they inevitably pop up in every poll and top 10 of the subject. It's the perfect place to play at castaway, with 1,200 mostly uninhabited islets of silky soft coral sand, sparkling turquoise lagoons and kaleidoscopic reefs. But with an average ground level of just 1.5 metres above sea level, the islands are particularly vulnerable to rising ocean levels - and the fear is they will simply disappear in years to come.
