Your Maldivian Getaway
The Maldives is a surreal land of blue lagoons and soft white sands awash in an ocean of teal and indigo. Its beguiling name means ‘garland of islands’ in Dhivehi, the local language. Although no one knows who first named this glittering archipelago that stretches north-to-south across the equator, explorers, traders and travelers have been coming here for centuries – each generation as enchanted as the last.
Composed of 1,190 coral reef islands forming an archipelago of 26 atolls, the Maldives are acclaimed as a tropical paradise of pristine beaches and clear cobalt and turquoise waters. The country was formed from ancient volcanoes now hidden under the Indian Ocean. It is the planet’s lowest country, resting at just 4 feet 11 inches above sea level. They cover 35,000 square miles, making it one of the world’s most dispersed nations.

The feeling of blissful seclusion at this idyllic destination is so profound that you could easily spend an entire week here without encountering another soul. Your days will drift by in a sun-drenched reverie filled with contented sighs and breathtaking views. The crystal-clear, warm waters beckon for leisurely relaxation, the service is impeccably smooth, and the soulful beachside playlist adds the perfect touch. It's the type of place where you can casually kick off your shoes upon arrival and not think about them until it's time to check out—an ode, perhaps, to the sheer ecstasy of island life.
The service is impeccable, with your every desire attended to by your dedicated personal butler. Outside your villa, a bicycle awaits for your convenience, allowing you to effortlessly explore the diverse range of amenities. You can pedal to the Art House, where you can partake in a painting lesson with the resident artist, or journey to the Dive Centre for kayaking or seabob adventures. Additionally, you'll find a well-appointed gym, a breathtaking yoga platform, and perhaps the world's most stunning sauna, featuring glass walls that frame panoramic views of the turquoise lagoon. For ultimate relaxation, the spa offers a selection of holistic treatments in eight dedicated rooms. If you're in the mood for underwater exploration, snorkeling opportunities abound nearby, and you can also venture a bit farther by boat for a chance to swim alongside majestic turtles.
Enhance your dining experience by reserving a spot in a mixology class led by a skilled bar manager, whose cocktail artistry shines through each creation. The Japanese-Peruvian gem, Saoke, is a culinary essential not only for its exquisite Nikkei cuisine but also for its impressive design, seamlessly blending the sophistication of a glass-pillared wine cellar with the rustic charm of natural driftwood. Delight your palate with prawn tempura, Wagyu beef tataki, and yellowtail hamachi ceviche, ideally accompanied by a sake pairing. Meanwhile, at Bellinis, the resort's Italian culinary sanctuary under a chef's expert guidance, don't overlook the lobster and mascarpone ravioli kissed with lemon zest and seafood bisque or the sumptuous truffle-infused risotto.
You will arrive at the airport and be greeted and taken to catch your seaplane to the island. You will have amazing views of the islands from the sky. Arrival and departure seaplanes are included.
Each villa boasts charming thatched roofs and a generous 35-square-meter private pool, encircled by a sunbed-adorned deck. For the overwater villas, a unique feature includes stairs that gracefully descend into the inviting sea below. The interiors are opulently designed, characterized by lofty cathedral ceilings, expansive beds draped in canopies, and generously proportioned bathrooms featuring standalone tubs, spacious rain showers, and even outdoor showers. To enhance your pampering experience, an assortment of bath salts and a brand of lotions and elixirs are at your disposal.
