“Monday’s in the Maldives & they can’t get better than this …”

That’s what British TV personality and presenter Ferne McCann had to say as she reclined on the trunk of a palm tree on the coastline in Maldives.

After a weekend getaway in Dubai, the former TOWIE star hotfooted it to the Maldives Sunday for some fun in the sun. And she is clearly having the time of her life in the picture-perfect LUX* South Ari Atoll resort, a luxury resort which promises to make everyone’s fantasy of a laid-back, desert island paradise come true.

Ferne joins another British TV personality Katie Price to holiday in the idyllic beach destination of the Maldives. Katie is on holiday with her family in the recently opened Kandima Maldives resort.

Maldives is amongst the most sought after destinations by celebrity travellers from across the world.

The likes of English singer and television presenter Rochelle Humes and her husband Marvin, and British TV personality Billie Faiers have all declared this as their favourite part of the world for a relaxing getaway. Another British singer Perrie Edwards, English actress Millie Mackintosh and the Beckhams have also fell in love with the white sands and the blue skies of the Maldives.

Britain is also a major source market for the Maldives tourism industry. More than 100,000 British travellers visited the Maldives last year, a 9.8 percent increase from the year before.
