Floating Residence
Imagine a hotel room with water on all four sides and access via a speedboat. These free-standing water villas have become more popular as guests seek seclusion even within the country’s exclusive resorts. At Velaa Private Island, Gili Lankanfushi and Waldorf Astoria Ithaafushi, you’ll find dwellings that combine the plushest of creature comforts with the kind of privacy that truly leaves you on your own.
Floating Breakfast
By now you’ve seen enough photos of trays full of fruit, pancakes, eggs and orange juice floating in private plunge pools. Feast on a breakfast of champions at the Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa, where you’ll get a fully loaded wicker basket that’s got enough food for two people to kickstart their day. At Raffles Maldives Meradhoo and Dusit Thani Maldives, you can enjoy your in-room breakfast in the water as well. Just remember to take some photos for the ‘gram first, or who’d believe that you’ve actually achieved nirvana so early in the day.
