Best of the Maldives: Indoor Bathroom – Adaaran Vadoo

Published 4 March 12 2:18 PM | Maldives Complete

    As I’ve added a whole category for ‘ Bathroom’ Best-Ofs, seems appropriate to call out Adaaran Vadoo which from my research is simply one of the best Indoor Bathrooms in the Maldives. Indoor, at least.  I limit it to ‘Indoor’, because...

Best of the Maldives – Tub-Pool Combo: Naladhu

Published 5 August 11 4:4 AM | Maldives Complete

Forget your underwater spas, restaurants, bedrooms and night clubs. I’m on my honeymoon and I don’t want to be looking at a bunch of Brown Spotted Groupers. I want to look at my gorgeous bride. And that includes my underwater viewing fun....

Best of the Maldives: Tub – Dhonakulhi

One popular feature that I do adore is the al fresco bathing. It is not an uncommon luxury feature of tropical resort, but they are typically secluded to a sheltered back garden. But if you want the experience with elegance, style, comfort and a view...
