Huge outdoor spaces include private infinity pools, mezzanine-level lofts accessed by a spiral staircase and direct access to the beach or turquoise lagoon.
COMO Maalifushi
COMO Maalifushi is seductively low-key as it is the only resort to inhabit the tranquil Thaa Atoll in Maldives. This is why this exquisite resort is a popular attraction for famous fashion designers and Hollywood celebrities because of its minimalist styling, exceptional service and superstar-worthy food and facilities. The spa is a destination in its own right, and nothing ruffles the friendly, experienced staff, who are used to flawlessly dealing with high demands.

Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas
The island of Anantara Kihavah is a mesmerizing 35-minute seaplane ride north of Malé within the Baa Atoll, is truly a paradise, ringed by the whitest of powdery sands and beyond those crystal-clear turquoise waters that are a playground for a rainbow-like collection of tropical fish. Its remote location means endless horizon views and the starriest of night skies that are best experienced atop the resort's Sky Bar, which is also home to the Maldives' largest telescope. When not snorkeling with manta rays, there is an over water spa and a choice of six excellent restaurants and bars but, really, it is all about the talcum-white sands and turquoise waters.
The Residence Maldives Dhigurah
A rustic all-inclusive with a sublime setting, roomy villas, fun facilities and charming staff. White sandy pathways wind through leafy tunnels of banana, coconut and palm trees, giving the island a lovely adventurous edge.

Fun extras include an open-air cinema on the beach under the star, planetarium, treetop yoga and a personal butler assigned to each villa. There's an excellent choice of dining options, including bountiful breakfasts with juicy mango and papaya, fresh-from-the-oven pastries and healthy ayurvedic tonics.

It’s well suited to couples seeking trendy eateries and lounges with live DJs and underwater aquariums, a glass-enclosed over water spa, a private sandbank for picnics, and two-level villas with private sun terraces and infinity pools. Lazy poolside lunches and retro ice cream parlors await, but for something more intimate, try the private dining room at Barium with its underwater aquarium or book a romantic twilight dinner for two on a candlelit pier.
