Best of the Maldives: Low Bed – Adaaran Vadoo
Published 16 December 11 2:17 AM |
Maldives Complete
Time to get down. The latest bed instalment is not the biggest, nor the best, but the ‘lowest’. In keeping with its Japanese heritage and ambience, the Vadoo beds rest on the ground. Not like your typical ‘Beds-R-Us’ foldable futons though, these beds...

Best of the Maldives: Biggest Private Pool – Soneva Fushi
Published 17 October 11 6:4 PM |
Maldives Complete
If the kind of ‘space’ that you like in your pool is less the ‘ starry night’ type, and more the ‘stretchy out’ kind, then Soneva Fushi’s Jungle Reserve Villa (villa #42) is the one for you. It’s private...
Best of the Maldives: Biggest Glass Floor – Velassaru
Published 24 September 11 2:40 PM |
Maldives Complete
For those with weaker sea legs, you don’t have to go on the high seas or undersea to have a window to Maldivian marine life. In fact, just this week the topic of glass floors came up on the Trip Advisor Forum . A couple of posters dismissed them...
Best of Maldives: Residence - Soneva Fushi
Published 24 June 11 7:13 PM |
Maldives Complete
The Maldives has always been a bit of an opposite to Hotel California. You could check-in any time you like, but you could never stay. Not just the tourists, but the resorts themselves are on long-term leases and don’t actually own their islands...

Two qualities describing the Maldives go hand in hand – tiny and exclusive. So what is the smallest and most exclusive of them all? According to my most effective investigator on the Maldives, Francis , Dhoni Island squeaks in... “ Rania of course is...
Best of the Maldives: Bedroom – Conrad Maldives Rangali
Published 19 May 10 8:0 PM |
Maldives Complete
Many Maldives bedrooms have some distinctive views and the water bungalows certainly give you that up close view of the aquarium-like ocean around. But if you want more up close and more aquarium and more ‘surround’ than ‘around’, then the big news out...
Best of the Maldives: Readers Choice – Anantara Dhigu
