Alila Villas Hadahaa at Maldives


The  first luxury resort in the idyllic South coral reefs of the Maldives, Alila Villas Hadahaa offers the definitive in privacy, with the nearest inhabited island some 10km away. Of the 50 modish, minimal-impact villas that constructed with minimal destruction to the natural environment, 14 are strung out along a jetty over a effervescent coral reef while the rest are scattered like seashells on a pristine spit of land.

For a inspirational sunset vista, you can't do better than Aqua Villa 51. Alighted at the end of the jetty, a brilliant ocean scene awaits just outside your window. If you're staying at any of the Island Villas, make sure to marinate up the wonderful bathrooms, complete with deep terrazzo tubs and outdoor showers.

Guests should also make time for Journeys by Alila, customized three-day experiences that give you an insight into the culture, life and history of the Maldives. Choose from snorkeling tours that show you about island and coral isle organization, tour visits to a local traditional village, Maldivian cooking sessions, nature trail walks with a resident biologist, play with dolphin, or diving with manta rays.

Save your stomach for Buttuta's, the only native eatery among the top properties on the Maldives, and enjoy a taste of neighboring cookery with the dishes like char-grilled chicken marinated in pomegranate molasses or snake gourd salad. Then cosy up on the padded swings at the hotel's Bell's Bar as you join in of their sexy cocktails.
