Maldives

“I already thought the Beach Villa was absolutely stunning, but the Water Villa was the ultimate luxury experience. An extraordinary residence, set on stilts and floating in the turquoise sea. [...] We had our private sun deck with access to the sea. WiFi on the terrace? Check. But who cares when a bunch of sharks are passing by? The view was absolutely out of this world...”

“The other negative is that because the lagoon is smaller that if the wind does pick up as it did at night the villa will shake under the water pressure hitting the legs. [...] But see the smaller lagoon means there is a ton of sea life and it makes snorkeling very very easy. We had SIX sharks around our water villa one morning. [...] The sea floor drops off dramatically and there are so many fish! But because it is less than 30 seconds of swimming back to the beach even I enjoyed it. I spent a good 30 mins snorkelling.”

“The island was quite small, it took me only 15-20 minutes to surround the island walking in a slow pace and get back to where I started. Does it really look like those typical postcards or desktop wallpapers? Actually it does. It was incredibly beautiful, a tropical paradise. If there is any place on this planet to escape the real world than it is here, for sure. It's surreal.”
