Soneva Secret is located amid the sparkling waters of the Maldives’ Haa Dhaalu Atoll, where only 14 over-water and island villas promise you your own private island experience. Stay in the serene Overwater Hideaway which features a retractable roof over the master bedroom and a curved waterslide into the lagoon, or enjoy a luxurious escape within the villas or reserves, the latter of which are surrounded by tropical gardens.

Set on Muravandhoo Island in northern Maldives, Joali is a beautiful resort with white sand beaches and brilliant blue waters. Here you’ll find plenty of fruitful coconut palms and exquisite marine life waiting to be discovered. The resort boasts beach, water and family villas, all individually decorated. Think private beach gardens; stunning ocean or garden views; spacious sundecks and private pools.

There are four restaurants and several bars to make sure you’re well-fed and refreshed. At Vandhoo Restaurant you can enjoy South East Asian, Chinese, Mediterranean and Levant flavours. They also offer themed dinners and immersive experiential dining. At Her Kitchen you can cook and enjoy local recipes with experienced chefs. Japanese restaurant Soake offers incredible views and delectable food, and Bellinis boasts Italian fine dining.

Joali’s Reef Restoration Programme uses a two-step gardening concept to grow corals in a mid-water nursery fore nine to 12 months before planting them back onto the reef. This is one of the ways they are helping to restore the damage that was done by the devastating coral bleaching catastrophe of 2016 which saw about 85% of the Maldives’ coral die.

Surrounded by the turquoise waters of the South Male Atoll, the island of Maadhoo offers guests the perfect beach getaway at OZEN by Atmosphere. The luxurious resort’s 90 stand-alone villas feature contemporary design which complements the island surrounds.

Choose from 41 beach-front villas set on the soft sandy beach or 49 over-water villas which are built on stilts. The former boast earthy tones and fresh colours, with large outdoor decks and tropical garden spaces, while the latter have bright splashes of colour and bathtubs with uninterrupted views of the horizon.

The resort features several dining options. From South Asian-inspired cuisine featuring Sri Lankan, Indian and Maldivian flavours, to authentic Chinese dishes, pool-side pizzas or raw food options. The resort’s M6m, a speciality underwater restaurant, makes for a truly memorable dining experience.
