Yearning To Escape City Life, Maldives Is The Answer
Harper's Bazaar India|October - November 2022
Yearning to escape city life, I found myself in the middle of the Indian Ocean, soaking in the warm sun and breathtaking views of the Maldives, with Four Seasons' many distinctive properties playing host.

Yearning To Escape City Life, Maldives Is The Answer

I have never been a ‘beach person’. And thinking about the sheer enormity of oceans makes me somewhat anxious. I enjoy marvelling at the sights from afar...admiring the ombré shades of the water—the sun rising from it and eventually melting into it—and the extensive life the ocean guards.

But 2022 had other plans for me. They say travelling enhances our understanding of the world...which, in turn, enhances one’s understanding of oneself. And spending a few days in this beautiful island country helped me unravel a side of me that loves sun, sand, and salty water.

This was my second trip to the Maldives, but first at a Four Seasons property in the country—they have two resorts, a private island, and a yacht cruise that cater to travellers’ numerous desires.

Maldives’ capital, Malé, is a short flight away from most cities in India. And a swift visa-on-arrival process later, I was escorted to the Four Seasons’ private, VIP lounge at the Velana Airport. One is acquainted with the famed Four Seasons’ hospitality starting at the lounge—as you stretch your legs and sip on hot tea. The warm and friendly staffensures your ride is ready to transport you to your desired location.
