Finolhu, a Seaside Collection Resort<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finolhu is an all-time favourite of Luxury Escapes members \u2013 and for good reason. Amid the beauty of the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the resort unfolds along a sandbank stretching almost two kilometres, which connects four islands. Overwater villas fan out across the lagoon, each with uninterrupted sea views plus private sundecks, outdoor showers and steps leading into the dazzling turquoise water below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your time here begins with seaplane transfers from Mal\u00e9 and then is as unhurried or as jam-packed as you like. Those wanting to truly embrace island time may do nothing beyond wandering between beachside restaurants, while those wanting to do a little bit more can perfect their zen in the Yoga Pavilion, book treatments at Fehi Spa or take up water activities, like kayaking, windsurfing and snorkelling. All-inclusive packages are available, leaving you wanting for nothing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Lily Beach Resort & Spa<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the back-to-back winner of the Maldives\u2019 Leading All-Inclusive Resort Award at the World Travel Awards, you can expect complete indulgence at Lily Beach Resort & Spa. From the refined comfort of your beachfront suite or villa perched above the sparkling Alifu Dhaalu Atoll, celebrate with a glass of crisp Taittinger champagne and premium wine brands from around the world, at the click of your fingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those seeking exclusive escapism, you can even hire your own private pontoon away from the resort, complete with cosy sun loungers and snooze-inducing hammocks. Enjoy a picnic from the seclusion of a private sandbank, so you can truly feel like you\u2019re the only person in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
