Maldives is the ultimate vacation spot for a lazy, hazy luxury basking time. There is plenty of outdoor fun in the Maldives from sunning at the beach, dips in the sea, and encounters with marine life to watersports. But how do you spend time on those rainy days? How can you indulge in opulence without leaving your villa? Let's find out.
Maldivian resorts offer a variety of accommodation choices whether it is at 4 star resorts in Maldives or beachside villas. Resorts like the Adaaran Prestige Water Villas are for those who love over-water bungalows to get as close as possible to the sea. However, what really matters is the amenities in the room, space, and aesthetics. Before you book a villa, check if they offer an en-suite bathroom, a deck for some sunbathing, a pillow menu, a coffee maker, and elegant furniture for a luxurious stay. A beautiful, space-efficient villa will help you enjoy some indoor time, relaxing and just being in the moment.
Make your holiday in the Maldives all about taking time to enjoy things without worrying about the next activity. You can order in and eat in bed. Allow yourself to be lazy and but, if you wish for a bit of variety, consider a floating breakfast. Ask the resort to prepare a tray of breakfast goodies and savour each bite in your own private pool.
A long, warm bath with plenty of bubbles, oil and perhaps a glass of wine is always a god idea, doubly so if you're in a tropical country. If you're staying in an over-the-water villa, relish the views from your bathtub. The spacious bathrooms in Maldives villas call for lingering baths.
Grab some snacks and a juicy book, and then get back into the soft, comfy bed for an undisturbed time. You can hang a do not disturb sign on the door and start reading. It is up to you to decide whether you want to read in bed or snuggle down on a deck chair. If you didn't bring a book, ask the resort to lend you one from their in-house library. If you're not much of a reader, go for a movie marathon.
The Maldives has long mastered the art of exquisite spa treatment. They offer hydrotherapy, Himalayan salt chambers, Swiss massages and even snow treatment. You can contact the spa and ask them to arrange in-room treatment. Once you book the treatment you wish to enjoy, the staff will set it up in your room. You can pick a floral bath, a rejuvenating facial, or a full-body massage on your private deck.
When you book a villa, you get access to magnificent views over the water and into the horizon. Come dusk, find a cosy spot on your private deck or pool, and get ready to immerse in a spectacular sunset. Order a cocktail or your favourite wine with a platter of goodies. Put up your feet and let the many-hued skyline over the water enthral you.
A true believer that the pen is a mighty weapon, ventures into reaching the minds of every reader with the earnest hope of leaving an indelible stream of thought.
