Dusit Thani Maldives

 

 

This all-villa Thai retreat sits next to a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, a feeding ground for manta rays and whale sharks. Lovers of tropical luxury prefer to feast at Dusit Thani Maldives.  Where will today take you? On a diving adventure, perhaps, or is snorkeling more your style? If you prefer to steer clear of the ocean, how about a dip in the largest swimming pool in the Maldives?

Of course, Dusit Thani Maldives also offers some land-based activities: the gym has a personal trainer and yoga instructor, the library offers internet stations as well as books, and island boutiques provide shoppers with consumer beauty. Then there is a marine biologist, children’s play area and club facility, not to mention incredible restaurants and stunning views.

Some may prefer to simply revel in their glorious accommodations at Dusit Thani Maldives. All 100 villas and residences are unique, large living spaces filled with the latest in technology and creature comforts.

Taj Exotica Resort & Spa Maldives

 

As you speed across aquamarine waters, the private Emboodhu Finolhu Island begins as a low bump in the distance. As you near it, the tell-tale oval-shaped docks of Taj Exotica Resort & Spa Maldives appear, and you realize that someone is going to have to eventually drag you out of here.

Although this island is tiny, it sports one of the largest lagoons in the region, perfect for your best Jacques Cousteau impression. Back on land, each of the 62 modish, thatched-roof villas boast crisp linens, warm wooden patios, and private infinity pools.

At the resort's three restaurants and bars, enjoy addictive cocktails and Pan-Asian cuisine. Feeling creative? Just pick a spot on the island, and the private chefs and wait staff will make any area a VIP area. But before you go kicking and screaming from this real life paradise, make sure and hit the Indian-inspired Jiva Spa. You'll want your last Maldives memory to be a pristine one.

Island Hideaway at Dhonakulhi Maldives, Spa Resort & Marina

You may think you've gone to heaven when you pull up to Island Hideaway at Dhonakulhi Maldives, Spa Resort & Marina. It's one of only three resorts in the Haa Alifu Atoll, and takes up only five-percent of this private island. The rest of it is virgin land - powder white sand, plus tons of coconut and banana trees.

Inside the resort, find six types of accommodation: some "floating" over infinity pools, some with private pools, some right on the beach, and others that sit on stilts over the ocean. The most deluxe are the Hideaway Water Suites. Each with their own sea-view spa room, including sauna, steam room, and an outdoor bathtub.

Here, private chefs are at your disposal for in-room or in-restaurant dining. If you happen to venture out, be sure to check out the largest whiskey collection in the Indian Ocean. After that, you may require a spa treatment at the Hideaway Spa, with its internal waterways and waterfall walls.

If only you could be marooned here forever!

Beach House Iruveli, Maldives

 

 

 

Villas hover over waves, suites perch above the beach, and pavilions jut out over the ocean. Impossibly idyllic? Head to Beach House Iruveli … where paradise really is possible.

Your accommodation options are out of this world here: from Water Villa to Beach Villa, Ocean Villa, Beach Suite, Grand Water Pavillion, and Grand Beach Pavilion. Turquoise waters surround guests and make the decision to hop into your private infinity pool or straight into the sea a more complicated one than you might have anticipated.

There is nothing like an island vacation to make you feel as if you have executed a blissful escape… so if “escaping” is in the cards, head to Beach House Iruveli.

WHERE I WANT TO BE: Conrad Maldives Rangali Island

Sometimes, luxury means never having to put your shoes on. Between the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, the hourglass-quality white sands, and the casually exotic environs of your beach or overwater villa, give your tired tootsies a break at the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island Hotel.

This tropical paradise actually occupies two connected islands, each with their own charms. Walking the illuminated bridge between them as the sun sets, you'll see stingrays swimming in the crystal blue water. With seven world-class restaurants, a glass-floored spa that sits over the sea, and a wine cellar dining room to impress any oenophile, this is decidedly deluxe island living.
