Nearly 1200 islands of white sand and palm trees make the Maldives a destination of unrivalled luxury, relaxation and indulgence. It’s combination of azure water and perfect climate resulted in Maldives being the holiday heaven. These islands of Indian Ocean are the perfect combination of natural and human design. People say that once you visited Maldives you can’t wait to come back and here are the top reasons why:

Location

Teeming with marine life and lush tropical flora, The Maldives are a pristine and thrilling Indian Ocean environment. The Maldivian reefs are one of the most beautiful in the world and home to vibrant fish, reef sharks, turtles and eagle rays. Home to 1100 species of fish, 5 species of sea turtles, 21 species of whales and dolphins, 187 species of corals and many more, these islands are a unique experience of nature for everyone that visits the Maldives. A perfect example of this is Huvafen Fushi retreat set within its own lagoon where you can explore the underwater world with a marine biologist.

Enjoy the view

Every hotel in the Maldives offers a fantastic view of the calming blue sea. Whether you are up for romantic dinner under the stars or wellness day rejuvenation, here you can find the most astonishing sea views on the globe. There are exclusive hotels that are concentrated on presenting you the best of the Maldives and in them you will admire the beauty of nature from every part. We have chosen to show you the seductive Cheval Blanc Randheli retreat in which we were amazed by the view from every part of the hotel. Consider this, the shades of white awake you, you open your eyes and there it is – the perfect ocean view on your private beach or pool and the ocean. Is there any better sight in the morning?

Excellence in rejuvenation

Just imagine, you spend your whole day enjoying the warm water of Indian Ocean, you feel calm and at peace and then you discover you can treat yourself a perfect massage or special treatment and rejuvenate yourself to the limits you thought were impossible. Well, at the Maldives it is possible. A perfect example of this we found at Velaa private island. Velaa's spa in partnership with the award-winning Spa My Blend by Clarins provides each guest with a personalised journey to well-being.

Haute style

Everything in the Maldives screams style. From the exterior of the retreats to the interior design. Stylish deck chairs just a few centimetres above water or rooms with glass floor to enjoy abundant underwater life indoors. Explore Conrad Maldives Rangali Island for unique haute style. We recommend having a dinner in the underwater restaurant called „Ithaa“. Ithaa sits five metres below the surface, offering 180-degree panoramic views of the vibrant coral gardens surrounding it.

Exploring the beauty

Choose a day off of your relaxation and try exploring the nature. The Maldives offer a magnificent biodiversity. We know that the relaxation in the paradise might sound perfect and that all you want is to soak up the sun and enjoy your time, but give yourself a dash of adventure as well. The crystal clear waters will tempt every kind of traveller and the wonders of the ocean can be enjoyed with a choice of snorkelling, wind surfing, waterskiing, paddle boarding, kayaking or deep-sea fishing. We suggest you create adventure memories at Coco Privé Kuda Hithi Island; it will last a lifetime.
