<strong>Maldives</strong><br />
Rangali Island<br />
Spanning two Alif Dhaal Atoll islands<br />
and connected by a bridge, the resort’s<br />
remote geography (30 minutes by<br />
seaplane from Malé) lets guests dip in<br />
and out of daily life without sacrificing<br />
personal privacy. Its villas and suites are<br />
dotted across the islands, with beach,<br />
water or spa locations to choose from.<br />
We say opt for a villa on the smaller,<br />
quieter island where there’s an adultsonly<br />
pool. Golf buggies will whizz you<br />
around, so you can discover the resort's<br />
12 award-winning restaurants and bars,<br />
pools, beach and Spa Retreat complex.<br />
The latter is home to a clutch of dreamy<br />
villas, each with its own spa room. For<br />
fun, go diving, play a game of tennis,<br />
discover the teeming coral reefs, or head<br />
off on an excursion, such as the romantic<br />
Sandbar Picnic.<br />
WE LOVE<br />
The 3:1 staff to guest ratio, including the<br />
lovely poolside chap who will polish your<br />
suntan lotion smeared glasses.<br />
MEMORY MAKER<br />
Stay 16 feet below sea level at The<br />
Muraka, an ultra luxurious two-level<br />
residence with submerged master<br />
bedroom, tunnel viewing theatre and<br />
above water deck with infinity pool. It<br />
also offers private jet skis.<br />

will indulge your every whim”<br />
The Westin<br />
<strong>Maldives</strong><br />
Miriandhoo<br />
Resort<br />
An enviable location within the Baa<br />
Atoll UNESCO World Biosphere<br />
Reserve forms the backdrop for<br />
upscale downtime from the second you<br />
step onto the arrival jetty (a 35-minute<br />
seaplane flight from Malé) with its<br />
visually arresting shell-shaped canopy.<br />
The resort architecture presents a<br />
modern twist on island style, with<br />
talking points such as the ‘floating’ lily<br />
pad daybeds in the main pool. Westin<br />
signature Heavenly beds, outdoor rain<br />
showers and jaw-dropping views come<br />
as standard in your choice of villa,<br />
from the one-bedroom Beach Villa<br />
- Pool to the two-bedroom Heavenly<br />
Beach Residence. Your personal<br />
thakaru (concierge) will indulge your<br />
every whim, including making dinner<br />
reservations – head to Island Kitchen<br />
for Maldivian specialities. More<br />
Heavenly branded experiences await<br />
at the spa.<br />
WE LOVE<br />
Let the little ones off the leash at<br />
the on-site kids’ club housed in a<br />
repurposed shipping container, with<br />
free activities for four- to 12-year-olds.<br />
MEMORY MAKER<br />
Take a day trip by boat to Hanifaru<br />
