Maldives all to yourself
In Maldives the recipe for romanticism is cooked over a slow fire, at a rhythmic rhythm, with the indolence of a time that runs smoothly like the swinging of a hammock. This is what happens when the main ingredient is a villa supported on the sea, under which thousands of colored fish slide. The rest will be to season with sun at will and just a pinch of turquoise waters, white sand and coral bottoms. The result, of course, can only be a delicacy of love.
Because of its calm as if it were a corner of the world and because of the intimacy provided by its solitary spots, These islands perched on the Indian Ocean have been the perfect setting for lovers for years. That is why the archipelago often sneaks into the top positions of the most demanded destinations for Honeymoon.
Yet there is life to those who decide to visit it without the company of their better half. Long life, even. It is a consolation to know that, although the Maldives is the closest thing to heaven on earth, it is already known how Adam and Eve ended up in the same paradise...
Maldives and you: you don't need anything else
PIG OF NOSTALGIA
You will experience it before you even arrive, when this unreal spectacle appears under your feet. Don't forget to ask for a window for that Qatar Airways flight that takes you to Male airport. The views of the thousands of atolls on the blue immensity surpasses any illusion. You would like to share it, but the photos will always remain.
Later, already on land, the worst will be when you discover the wonder in which your nights will pass in solitude. You may get a villa like the ones in Naladhu Private Island, voted Best Resort in the Indian Ocean for three consecutive years. Its 300 square meters with an infinity pool and views over the ocean will remind you a little of what could have been.
The best resort in the Indian Ocean
WATER IS LIFE
Of the almost two thousand islands that trace this territory, about a hundred are resort islands, occupied by a single hotel. Therefore, whatever your home is for these days, you will feel like a robinson. Much more, of course, if it is in Niyama Private Island since in this case it is two twin islands (Chill and Play) at your entire disposal.
Here you will suddenly understand that the ultimate expression of luxury has been invented just for you. If you get a house with a thatched roof and direct access to the beach, you will know what a perfect refuge is between the jungle and the sea. You will sleep cradled by the sound of the waves and you will be able to a swim under the stars in your own private pool.
If, on the other hand, The Crescent is your nest of no-love, prepare to touch nirvana: a row of villas on stilts in the water where you can enjoy the 360º turquoise horizon and the sophisticated interior with glass floor that makes life under the sea transparent. You can ask your butler to prepare you a floating breakfast in the outdoor Jacuzzi or a private barbecue under the stars. The decision is yours alone.
paradise for you alone
LIKE A WAVE
The time has come to indulge in some activity. The classics never fail: from snorkeling among impossible corals to feeding the rays that come punctually to the shore, passing by sailing with champagne to see the sunset. But given your individuality, we propose a more fun one: surf.
Yes, few know that in these calm waters you can practice this sport. For it, in Niyama they have their own wave on the island of Play, where each attempt is monitored to later project it on a screen and see the failures in the posture. As if that were not enough, the rooms have a television service in which, through a webcam, they can see the state of the wave to know if you can ride it.
Niyama: the eternal turquoise
PLAYING SPORTS (SIMULATED) OR SURRENDERING YOURSELF IN THE KITCHEN
With what is going on outside, it might seem like a crime to lock yourself in a room. But there are those who find the world of video games exciting, especially when no one can spoil your hobby. For it Naladhu and Niyama have simulator rooms where you can hone your skills in golf, soccer, basketball, clay pigeon shooting and ice hockey. Who said that sport was only a team thing?
Another option is Discover your inner chef with a private cooking class. An opportunity to have a good time learning about the gastronomy of the Maldives in which, for obvious reasons, it predominates shellfish and coconut.

AND SEE THE STARS
Filling the stomach is always a rewarding activity, even when there is no choice but to perform it alone. And more if the offer goes through an Asian tasting at Nest , installed among the treetops; by a carnivorous binge at Tribal , with ethnic dishes from Africa and South America; or by an entertaining dinner at Subsix , which is an underwater restaurant six meters deep.**
Then there will always be the stars. Those that can be seen just by looking at the sky in one of the places in the world with less light pollution. But above all, those that can almost be touched from the only observatory on these islands , installed in the hotel Anantara Kihavah Villas . The distance with your partner will no longer seem so insurmountable if even the rings of Saturn are just one step away.
