Stay at the adults-only Hurawalhi Maldives and you’ll be treated to a modern incarnation of Indian Ocean luxury, with the occasional nod to the traditional. The beachfront and overwater villas feature polished wooden decking and minimalist bathrooms clad in marble, while the communal areas and bars are all rattan furnishings, clever lighting and lofty ceilings. Edged by a reef that attracts scores of tropical fish and sting rays, the island has the obligatory soft white sands as well as uninterrupted ocean views from just about every corner of every restaurant, room or terrace. With a signature spa, sports courts, an ocean-facing swimming pool, yoga and mindfulness classes, there is also plenty to do, though special mention must go to the resort’s renowned gastronomy. At 5.8 Undersea Restaurant you’ll find yourself encased in glass below the waves for an unforgettable experience, while Kashibo Teppanyaki Grill serves up delectable Japanese classics and the Junk Food Kitchen (J.F.K to those in the know) is sure to keep you coming back for more.
