Maldivian Moments

Adventures

There really is no place like the Maldives. The therapeutic and healing properties of the ocean is simply unparalleled, with a vast array of properties to suit any travellers’ desire. Facing out to sea, there is an incomparable calm that washes over us, due to its endless sight, immersive sounds and rhythmic energy that pulses towards the shore or dances amidst the waves. Gastronomes will be delighted by an intercontinental selection of food and wine, families can ensure their kids won’t be disappointed by the in-house activities, and those seeking romance or adventure have no shortage of experiences to jump on. As you hop around this varied archipelago teeming with marine life, the balmy breeze and soft sands ground you and the deep connection with Nature opens fully to all your senses. Surrounded by guardians who thoughtfully protect each island, you too will recognise the fragility of this rare ecosystem, and feel driven to protect and cherish it.

Six Senses Laamu

Six Senses is the sole resort on the Laamu Atoll, and recently kicked off Sea Hub for Environmental Learning in Laamu (SHELL) on the sunset beach, housing a marine conservation collaborative made up of marine biologists and renowned partner NGOs. Showcasing art, virtual and augmented reality technologies in their amphitheatre, the innovative brand continues to educate on the importance of preserving Nature.

Niyama Private Islands

Boasting a well-established jungle on their two islands that welcome active ‘Play’ and cocooned ‘Chill,’ you are encouraged to do whatever makes your heart sing. Niyama attracts surfers to its rolling waves, with a wonderful Explorer Kids club, mesmerising villas, and Drift Spa that is ‘playfully different,’ perched on an unforgettable lagoon. The Crescent offers an exclusive playground of five pool villas for groups planning the ultimate escape fully catered to their desires.

COMO Cocoa Island

COMO says it best, “At Cocoa Island – you’ll find the spirit of ease.” With just 33 overwater dhoni-villas awaiting you after a speedboat ride from the airport, you’ll embrace the essence of barefoot luxury and healthy Shambhala fat-free meals if detoxing is on the agenda.

Go kitesurfing, spot Whale Sharks, and meet expert holistic practitioners or physiotherapists during your transformational stay.

Milaidhoo

You’ll feel as if you’ve come home at Milaidhoo, an intimate and earthy bolthole for those seeking serenity. They have a plethora of dining options in their Gourmet Plan, inspired by cuisine from the Maldivian Spice Route and a Chef’s Table for special occasions. Their spacious Beach Residence maximises indoor-outdoor living with stunning views, wonderful attention to detail and sublime snorkelling just moments away.

The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort

There is a sense of landing on a James Bond film set, where total glamour has been transplanted into the suite details and fine dining at St. Regis’ exceptional resort. The signature butler service goes above and beyond and their surrounding house reef is a huge advantage. The Iridium Spa’s ‘Blue Hole Pool’ is unique, a salt-water hydrotherapy with multiple whirlpool jets to target your sore muscles.
