Whether you choose to sleep in an over-water bungalow on the Indian Ocean, dine in an underwater restaurant or fish under the light of the moon, the Maldives will make your experience truly awesome.
A Jacuzzi enhanced beach villa is the ultimate accommodation when enjoying the island vibes of Maldives. Most of the villas offer contemporary amenities well amalgamated into traditional Maldivian architecture; if you are a guest at Kandolhu Maldives or any other luxury resort on the archipelago, chances are the villa you choose will be the most picturesque spot on the island.
As a nation which can boast miles of white sand beaches, the Maldives perfects the art of a beach pit dinner. A rustic pit complete with table and benches are dug into the sand, facing the glistening surf; lit up with torches and canopied by a blanket of stars, stepping down into these pits and enjoying a delicious meal of the best seafood and other delights, is one the quintessential delights of a holiday at a top Maldives luxury resort.
Island vibes are what you savour in the Maldives, and nothing beats the sense of total relaxation sans a care in the world than a siesta in a hammock under the shade of a coconut palm. Leave aside the luxuries and modern comforts to savour the simpler things in life, such as finding your own personal hammock, stretched between two coconut palms, over a powdery soft sand beach. Lay there and think of nothing, as sea breezes caress your face and the sound of the surf lulls you to sleep.
The over-water villas of Maldives are like little oases bobbing on the Indian Ocean. Relax and lounge around these equipped with a private plunge pool and wooden terrace. The sunsets from these water villas are truly magnificent, while the experience of slipping straight into the ocean from the terrace of your private villa cannot be matched. Look for an exclusive Maldives resort offering beautiful over-water villas, equipped with all modern amenities and the best design, for the ultimate luxurious island escape.
As a holiday destination which is constantly striving to amaze and enhance guest's experiences, it is no surprise that the Maldives is home to resorts with some of the best observatories on the archipelago. While offering tree-top terraces for dining and enjoying sunset cocktails, these resorts offer inter-connected boardwalks over the forest cover to observatories, where guests can marvel at the beauty of the solar system.
One of the most romantic experiences to indulge in, a sunset cruise on a traditional dhoni is a top attraction in the Maldives. A dhoni is a traditional wooden craft, which when equipped to take guests into the glow of a fiery sunset, is bestowed with all modern comforts while retaining its rustic allures. Enjoy champagne and a lavish dinner as the sun sinks behind the horizon, and relax and enjoy drifting on the ocean as a blanket of stars glow over-head.
