I notice a couple onboard attempting a selfie and offer to capture the shot for them; they gratefully accept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within 30 minutes, the resort\u2019s jetty appears, all twinkling lights and welcoming faces in the darkness. It\u2019s immediately clear the attentive touches here are what makes this resort stand out. The reception area smells heavenly (lemongrass fragrance, I later learn); the check-in process is swift and fuss-free. Within moments, I\u2019m on a buggy en route to my accommodation, the balmy breeze in my hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/au\/search?destinationName=Maldives&amp;destinationId=le_2723d092b63885e0d7c260cc007e8b9d&amp;adults=2&amp;children=none&amp;flexibleWithDate=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"596\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DJI_11110402-2-1024x596.jpg\" alt=\"An aerial shot of Hideaway Beach Resort &amp; Spa and the blue coastline, one of the best resorts to travel solo in the Maldives - Luxury Escapes\" class=\"wp-image-14406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DJI_11110402-2-1024x596.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DJI_11110402-2-350x204.jpg 350w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DJI_11110402-2-768x447.jpg 768w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DJI_11110402-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Floating overwater villas at Hideaway Resort &amp; Spa, Maldives.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Deluxe Water Villa with Pool is a love shack.

Two beautiful infinity pools beckon, while the sparkling lagoon is never more than a few steps away. Toes-in-the-sand buffet dining is found at Matheefaru, along with fine dining at two a la carte restaurants, and casual beachside bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chicken soup for the sole<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dhonakulhi is one of the larger islands in the Maldives at 1.5km from end to end and is predominantly jungle. \u201cHideaway\u201d seems to be the most appropriate of names for the resort: private entrances to villas are barely visible behind feathery palm fronds and jewel-toned flowers, dewy from last night\u2019s rain showers. As I cycle around, my only company is the iridescent dragonflies that hover alongside me and the geckos that scamper into the foliage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love is all around me. Heart-shaped wooden signs are staked in the ground with names and dates of weddings, honeymoons and anniversaries etched onto each one. They mark the spot where a sapling is planted. Returning guests (and there are plenty of them) can revisit their tree each year to see it blossom. There is even a bridalwear boutique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/au\/search?destinationName=Maldives&amp;destinationId=le_2723d092b63885e0d7c260cc007e8b9d&amp;adults=2&amp;children=none&amp;flexibleWithDate=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Hideaway-Maldives-dining-Meeru-Grill-and-bar-27-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A plate of fried squid at one of the restaurants in Hideaway Resort &amp; Spa, one of the best resorts to stay solo in the Maldives - Luxury Escapes\" class=\"wp-image-14405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Hideaway-Maldives-dining-Meeru-Grill-and-bar-27-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Hideaway-Maldives-dining-Meeru-Grill-and-bar-27-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Hideaway-Maldives-dining-Meeru-Grill-and-bar-27-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Hideaway-Maldives-dining-Meeru-Grill-and-bar-27.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A plate of fried squid at Hideaway Resort &amp; Spa, Maldives.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After a couple of me-time evenings, I\u2019m keen to get a taste of traditional Maldivian culture at Meeru Bar &amp; Grill\u2019s Boduberu drumming show. It\u2019s pure joy: locals dancing barefoot to the beat in a centuries old tradition. Before I know it, the hand of a friendly staff member extends ushering me into the fray and together we dance to the drums\u2019 beat. I may be here solo, but I\u2019m far from alone. Hideaway has so many activities and experiences to get stuck into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A state-of-the-art X-Golf simulator is surprisingly entertaining even for a non-golfer, with an in-house pro on-hand to hone your technique. Sports courts, a brand-new fitness centre, a spa, yoga, meditation, and<br>endless experiences from night snorkelling to dhoni boat cruises can fill every moment. The flames of romance are stoked with sandbank dinners, sunset cruises and chillout sessions on a HamacLand (a private floating pod on the lagoon dressed with flowers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I treat myself to a Hideaway Spa treatment where I\u2019m given a deliciously firm, 90-minute massage. I briefly notice the room is laid out for two, before drifting away on a cloud to nothing-will-ever-matter-again-ville. My final culinary experience is at the Asian-fusion fine dining restaurant, Samsara. As I cross the jetty, the sound of the ocean gently lapping is a prelude to what is honestly the most romantic dinner of my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The glittering, Moroccan-inspired interior opens onto an overwater deck, where candlelit tables glow beneath the stars. Delicate seafood tempura is dotted with edible flowers, I am treated to the most outrageously indulgent butter chicken curry of my life (and this British curry aficionado has sampled a few), and it concludes spectacularly with a refreshing pistachio kulfi scented with cardamom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As lightning illuminates the far horizon, it seems even Mother Nature is putting on a show. It\u2019s perfectly peaceful, with the only sound, aside from the surf breaking on the reef, the quiet clink of champagne glasses at the table beside me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I reflect on the last five nights, I realise I shouldn\u2019t have denied myself this experience for a second. I feel serene, revived, ready to go forth to take any opportunity that comes my way \u2013 regardless of whether or not I have company to enjoy it with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This article was originally featured in the latest issue of Dream by Luxury Escapes magazine.
