Everything you need to know about the BEST Resorts in the Maldives
Iβve just returned from crystal shades of blue water, incredible views, food thatβs as artfully presented as it is delicious. I enjoyed more spa treatments than you can imagine, watersports with the most colorful fish in the sea and the best resorts Iβve experienced in lifeβ¦ The Maldives!
Maldives Resorts: One & Only Reethi Rah
Vibe: Maldivian culture everywhere. This was the largest of the resorts I visited with 800 staff on property. 7 restaurants and 12 different beaches around the resort. Considered a 6 star resort.
All the restaurants are unique and very different. There was so many options. I loved Tapasake for Japanese cuisine. If you go in the evening you will spot sharks right next to your table! Also Botanica is the organic option with fresh vegetables grown right there! It was incredible to see!

Maldives Resorts: Cheval Blanc
Vibe: When you think of ultimate and discerning luxury this is what you should think ofβ¦ This resort has been on my radar ever since I became an agent and knew I had to get here! I was the most excited about this property and let me tell you - was I impressed! Itβs appropriate that Cheval Blanc Randheli is part of the hotel brand by LVMH Hotel Management, which owns CΓ©line , Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Pucci, Berluti, Bulgari, Tag Heuer, De Beers, and a whole lot more!
Made up of 5 islands, one being exclusively for the Guerlain spa (the most luxurious spa Iβve ever seen!). This hotel is for the elite and I mean elite. But itβs also very private.

Maldives Resorts: Velaa Private Island
Vibe: Self-Described as a βbeyond luxuryβ, The Owner is a billionaire from Czech Republic. It was his dream to have a resort of his own so years ago he bought an island. He wanted all his friends and guests to experience it. The resort is still family run, and the GM Michael, is his brother. The owner frequents often. He was there while I was visiting. The resort itself is in the shape of a turtle and you will see turtle features throughout the resort.

Maldives Resorts: Kudadoo
I love the βAnything. Anywhere. Anytime Experienceββ¦ meaning you could do multiple spa treatments a day, pick the top shelf liquor or wine and nothing is charged additional like other resorts calling them selves all inclusive. A personal butler will meet your every need, bespoke cuisine will satisfy your every craving, private experiences on sea or land will bring out your inner adventurer and the blissful wellness retreat will rejuvenate your senses.- literally everything is included.

Maldives Resorts: Hurawalhi
Vibe: Plan to have your shoes off the whole stay.Number of Rooms: 90 Villas all come with breathtaking ocean or Beach views
The Rooms: You can select from over-water villas or beach villas, both equally amazing! I also know the best room number here so Iβll be able to book you in the best room in the resort- but of course Iβm keeping this a secret for my clients βΊ All rooms have pools with a large walk in/out shower and bed views of the ocean!

How to Make the Best Out of Your Trip to Vancouver & Whistler Canada
As soon as you land and step off the plane you will notice the difference in the air. The coast, mountains and the surrounding waterways make everything naturally beautiful in landscape. I was also amazed by the city itself and how easily it is to explore. Close by is Whistler a world famous ski destination and a short drive from Vancouver to make it the perfect combo of a trip! I visited in the fall and the beautiful colors made for such a stunning surrounding and the perfect temperature in both locations.
