Luxury Hotels in the Maldives

Constance Halaveli, Maldives The new Constance Halaveli has villas either on stilts in a beautiful lagoon or on the pristine beach. All the villas have their own plunge pools and a terrace or balcony with an outdoor shower. The three restaurants and the spa ensure that both the body and mind are well cared for. The main restaurant, Jahaz, specialises in the best of international cuisine, while Jing serves East/West fusion cuisine in a room over the water.

Ginger Tea at Soneva Fushi

Ginger Tea at Soneva Fushi

To a tea... We think Soneva Fushi is one the most friendly, charming and laid back places in the Maldives - a place that does friendly, charming and laid back pretty much to perfection. You pay for the privilege, naturally, but this has to be one of the great places to decompress from the reality of life back home.   The best bit? So, what's the best bit? There are plenty of highlights to choose from - the delicious sushi at lunchtime, amazing diving with manta rays - but the Six Senses spa is a particular treat.

Paragliding into Six Senses Zighy Bay

Paragliding into Six Senses Zighy Bay

What a way to arrive. Competition in the hotel business is cut-throat, and properties are coming up with ever more outlandish ways to earn a few lines of coverage in the press or to generate conversation. The Maldives has gone with the whole underwater theme - first there was the underwater spa, the first underwater restaurant, and now an underwater club is coming soon.   Six Senses Zighy Bay How to up the ante again?

9 Reasons to visit Niyama in the Maldives

9 Reasons to visit Niyama in the Maldives

Niyama is a luxury wonderland that's perfect for guests who want to be washed up on a desert island castaway-style, but with all the trimmings of a modern and chic hotel. No creature comforts have been spared and there's a distinct cosmopolitan vibe. I spent just three days exploring the island and I'll never forget the pink sunsets and friendly staff. Here's my top 9 reasons to visit:   Wake-up and smell the coffee Flying over a turquoise ocean as clear as a gem stone and landing on a desert island in the Maldives is pretty spectacular,

Maldives Luxury Resorts: Escapism for Sarah Lund

Maldives Luxury Resorts: Escapism for Sarah Lund

Poor old Sarah Lund; she needs a break after all that sleuthsome crime solving. Copenhagen in winter looks even more depressing than London, so I think one of our Maldives luxury resorts would provide the ultimate setting for Sarah to really get away from it all. We've visited over 20 of the most beautiful Maldivean hideaways, so have the power of comparison and can point her in the right direction.

Six Senses Laamu - A perfect Day In Paradise

Six Senses Laamu - A perfect Day In Paradise

I was lucky enough to spend a week at the fabulous Six Senses Laamu in the Maldives last year, and loved it so much I am going back this year! It really is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. The island itself is stunning; the villas are, quite frankly, jaw-dropping, the food delicious and the staff excellent, but there is also such a vast array of things to do here that even the most reluctant of beach bums will find plenty to keep them occupied.

My Favourite Hotel in the World: The Soneva Fushi Maldives

My Favourite Hotel in the World: The Soneva Fushi Maldives

Just back from a deliciously relaxing week in the Maldives, escaping from the maelstrom of three children under the age of three. My wife and I stayed at Soneva Fushi for a thoroughly spoiling second time and while one probably shouldn't have favourites in my line of business, I would say it's - by far - my favourite hotel in the world.   Perfect to relax Make no mistake, Soneva Fushi Maldives is not for everyone, but for me (and far more importantly, my exhausted wife) the sense of relaxation that overwhelms one almost immediately on arrival is magical.
