Maldives

The Maldives is the definition of paradise — over a thousand coral islands scattered across the Indian Ocean like a handful of pearls. Ribbons of white sand give way to lagoons in impossible shades of turquoise, ringed by some of the healthiest reefs on the planet.

Sleep in an overwater villa above a glowing lagoon, snorkel with manta rays and reef sharks, and watch the sky turn to fire from your own private sandbank. Here the only agenda is doing very little, beautifully.
