A smattering of heavenly islands scattered across the Indian Ocean<br />
Want to be the envy of all your friends? Just casually drop ``I’m vacationing in the Maldives`` into conversation, preferably in the dead of winter. Nothing screams ``paradise`` quite like the Maldives, a 26-atoll chain of islands with powdery beaches, turquoise waters, and dreamy overwater bungalow resorts.<br />
