Kodhipparu,<br />
<strong>Maldives</strong><br />
A contemporary take on Maldivian<br />
tradition defines this one-island-oneresort<br />
destination located just 20<br />
minutes by boat from Malé airport.<br />
There are five artisan styled villa types<br />
on offer with the Grand Residence<br />
living up to its name, offering a<br />
coveted glimpse of the colourful<br />
marine life through its sleek glass<br />
floor. Bragging rights are guaranteed<br />
if you’re a snorkel or scuba fan, thanks<br />
to a teeming house reef and wealth of<br />
nearby sites, in addition to above water<br />
activities aplenty. The Spa is a haven<br />
for Asian, Balinese and Ayurvedic<br />
healing philosophies while three<br />
restaurants and bars meet the culinary<br />
mark; try Firedoor for its out-of-thisworld<br />
prime cuts.<br />
WE LOVE<br />
The resort’s vibrant villa décor with<br />
its artisan crafted touches, tropical<br />
pops of colour in its soft furnishings<br />
and penchant for macramé.<br />

Noonu Atoll, 45 minutes north of Malé<br />
by seaplane. Lounge on the upper deck<br />
sala of your Beach Pool Suite Sunrise<br />
while the kids splash in the plunge pool.<br />
Or, let them have the run of the Beach<br />
Spa Pool Residence, which sleeps six.<br />
Young guests have access to the Little<br />
Birds Club for storytelling, music, dance<br />
and arts and crafts fun. Sequester<br />
yourself in a lush jungle treatment room<br />

house reef among boxfish, rays and sea<br />
turtles before dinner. Food is central to<br />
the Mövenpick experience, with three<br />
resort restaurants including Bodumas,<br />
which serves amazingly fresh seafood.<br />
