CASTAWAY MALDIVES
Rose Goodman plays Robinson Crusoe at a resort offering innovative fun
As I'm whisked away on a speedboat from the hustle and bustle of Malé International airport through the pristine waters of the Indian Ocean, the first thought I have is, 'Is this a dream?' The second is, 'I'm never going to want to leave.' A scattering of more than 1,000 palm-studded coral islands - many of them with private resorts - there's a reason why the Maldives draws celebrities, honeymooners and chic travellers after a once-in-a-lifetime break.
A mere 30-minutes later, I reach my archipelago oasis for the next five nights - Kuda Villingili, nestled in the North Malé Atoll of the Maldives. And from the moment I arrive, the Maldives' famous world-class hospitality is present; I feel like I could be the only guest. I'm shown the impressive 150m pool - and the seven restaurants, each offering a different dining experience - but during my stay, I never see more than a handful of other guests. It's clear the resort was built with privacy in mind.
Kuda Villingili is located just off Chicken's Break - one of the finest surfing spots in the world, with mighty 500m-long breaks and waves towering well over 10ft. And you don't need to be an advanced surfer to enjoy the swells. Partnering with UK-based charity the Wave Project, Kuda Villingili offers a three-day surf programme suited for beginners.

How Healthy is Your Gut? - This month, our fitness expert Annie Deadman on discovering what's really going on inside your body and how to keep it in the peak of condition
The microbiome will be host to both good and harmful bacteria, and the swing in favour of one or the other can influence whether or not you fall victim to conditions such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, coeliac disease and other inflammatory disorders or hormonal issues. These include polycystic ovary syndrome and high cholesterol, as well as what we might consider more common ailments like digestive issues, mood swings, constipation, migraines and general lethargy. The power that a healthy gut can wield over our wellbeing is enormous. And just like no two fingerprints are the same, no two microbiomes are the same.
Cancer Was Just a Job Until it Happened to Me - Author, speaker and health content creator Dr Liz O'Riordan shares her journey from consultant breast surgeon to cancer patient
Working as a consultant breast surgeon, it was my responsibility to tell around 10 women a week that they had cancer. It was an emotionally intense job and could feel like youâre being paid to break women. As a clinician, you have to develop a sense of detachment, otherwise youâll crumble, but this wasnât always easy. Sometimes, particularly after seeing young women, Iâd cry in the toilets. Thereâs no counselling and very little training for breaking bad news. Itâs just part of the job â until it happens to you.

The Princess of Wales has always felt the pressure.
