Luxury

If overindulgence has a negative meaning to you, it will definitely change when you think of the Maldives. It is a known fact that this very intimate cluster of resort islands has been a second home to royalties, celebrities, and people who do not have money issues. Spending a lot of money has never been so worth it when you decide to stay in the Maldives.

Luxury at its finest - one can appreciate the very best in extravagance and live like kings and queens while enjoying the archipelago’s many natural spoils. Overwater bungalows and grand villas by the beach will already give away what grandeur is there that awaits you.

If dwelling in your preferred accommodation is already a game changer - wait until you are offered the amenities. Gourmet dining, exotic excursions, rejuvenating spas, top-notch transfers, and in-room extravagance are just some of the most drool-worthy activities one can experience.

Head over to the Muraka at Conrad Maldives Rangali Resort: A first-of-its-kind luxury two-level residence with a master bedroom submerged over 16 feet below sea level. Above water, you can enjoy living and dining areas which include 2 bedrooms and a bathroom with an ocean-facing tub, an outdoor deck with an infinity pool, a private 24-hour butler and private chef, an on-call fitness trainer and spa treatments, and access to private jet skis. Down below, a master bedroom with floor-to-ceiling windows in the bathroom and a walk-in closet, and a dedicated tunnel viewing theater are available.

Are you a mermaid in your past life? Many resorts come with beach retreats; perfect for those who enjoy the beach and ocean but would rather not opt for an overwater villa. The Beach Pool Retreat in Vakkaru Maldives is one such example for guests seeking total privacy and space. It features a private pool and sundeck in its rear garden, along with a private beachfront terrace with daybeds and a sitting area.

Most overwater villas in the Maldives are downright exotic with spacious arrangements and luxurious amenities to cater to your preference. Enjoy a yoga session on the large outdoor decks, sip cocktails in your private swimming pools or pamper yourself in an outdoor bathtub - you can have it all. Some of the sumptuous overwater villas you can choose from are at St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort, Park Hyatt Maldives Hadaha, COMO Cocoa Island, Grand Park Kodhipparu, and Heritance Aarah, to name but a few. It is all about amazing experiences.

The best part of all - your own thakuru! The thakuru will do all your bidding like your own personal man Friday. There's a never say no attitude in the Maldives. Whatever the customer wishes, it shall become. But of course, like in other countries, guests should still be respectful of culture and tradition. When you are most pampered, don't forget to give back a bit so the thakuru will go above and beyond to make your stay something that happens in dreams most of the time.
