\"Maldives\"
Vakkaru Maldives<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The overwater bungalow is one of the most impressive hotel species in the world. The very first were found in Tahiti in the 1960s, but the islands of the Maldives are now their dominant habitat.<\/em><\/h4>\n

Did you know that two-thirds of the planet’s overwater bungalows live in the Maldives? It\u2019s true. The rare structural species makes its home in the shallow waters that surround the country\u2019s atolls \u2014 standing above the gentle waves on long, narrow legs. You\u2019d be remiss to visit the Maldives and not spend at least one night enjoying their many charms.<\/p>\n

Cuteness aside, it is an interesting time in the Maldives. In recent years, the country’s government came under fire for corruption and human rights abuses. But in September 2018 the Maldives elected a new president who vowed to restore justice and fight malfeasance. There is a sense of renewal in the islands, and a hope that they can put the past behind them.<\/p>\n

We share their hope. We love unique forms of hospitality, and few forms of hospitality are as unique as the Maldives’ unofficial national bird, the overwater bungalow.<\/p>\n

\"Standard<\/a><\/p>\n

Not so very long ago the Maldives were where you went to spend an unthinkable sum on an extravagantly luxurious overwater bungalow, while the Standard hotels were who you called if you wanted a stylish night out in one of a few major American cities. In other words, the opening of a Standard Maldives is big news, heralding a change not just for the Standard brand but for the Maldivian hotel scene as well.<\/p>\n

\"Huvafen<\/a><\/p>\n

Just the fact that the Maldives exist is extraordinary in itself. Were the waters of the Indian Ocean just a few feet higher, there\u2019d be virtually nothing here. As it is, though, these islands seem tailor-made for tourism \u2014 each one a picture-perfect island idyll, a soft sand beach ringing an impossibly dense jungle, afloat in vivid turquoise seas. At Huvafen Fushi, it\u2019s the natural setting that stands out: villas stand either on the beach facing the lagoon or else out on stilts over the water \u2014 and the two Ocean Pavilions go another hundred meters out to sea, each complete with its own infinity pool.<\/p>\n

\"Soneva<\/a><\/p>\n

The Maldives comprise some 1,190 islands, and it only seems as though there are 1,190 luxury resorts \u2014 few of them, however, are on the level of the Soneva hotel group, whose Soneva Fushi is among the most rarefied luxury resorts in the world. And the newest one, Soneva Jani, is eminently worthy of the name. It\u2019s hard to compare them in terms of extravagance, but where Fushi is known for its dry-land beachfront villas, Jani is comprised mostly of overwater villas, the sine qua non of Maldivian luxury hospitality.<\/p>\n

Laamu Atoll<\/h5>\n

\"Six<\/a><\/p>\n

The Six Senses eco-resorts are consistently ranked among the very best in southeast Asia, and Six Senses Laamu is the undisputed champion of its particular location. Sure, it happens to be the only five-star resort on the Laamu atoll \u2014 an extremely secluded and unspoiled place, even by Maldivian standards \u2014 but that doesn\u2019t means it triumphs solely through lack of competition. When it comes to bringing impossibly high-end hospitality experiences to the white sands and turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, the Six Senses group isn\u2019t known for doing things halfway.<\/p>\n

Vakkaru Maldives<\/h2>\n

Baa Atoll<\/h5>\n

\"Vakkaru<\/a><\/p>\n

What’s most immediately apparent about Vakkaru is, naturally enough, its status as an example of that most extravagant of hospitality forms, where the shallow, crystalline waters of the Indian Ocean lap gently at the deck of your luxury villa. But to focus too much on the overwater villas is to sell Vakkaru Maldives short; the beach villas are scarcely less extraordinary, and are ideal for guests who prefer to stride across a stretch of soft sand on their way from the bedroom to the water.<\/p>\n

\"Taj<\/a><\/p>\n

Visitors to the Maldives have never been so spoiled for choice. The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands lies just 45 minutes by boat from the airport at Mal\u00e9, and those 45 minutes feel like a whole world of distance \u2014 from your overwater villa it\u2019s just about possible to feel like the only person on the planet. The natural environment is stunning, and so is Kerry Hill\u2019s architecture, which studiously avoids tropical-island clich\u00e9 in pursuit of the perfect luxury villa.<\/p>\n

\"Kandolhu<\/a><\/p>\n

A resort that\u2019s considered remote and upscale even within the rarefied context of the vast archipelago of the Maldives is obviously something special indeed: doubly remote and doubly upscale. Such is the case at Kandolhu Island, a resort on a small private island in the northern Maldives, ringed with pristine white beaches and a thriving coral reef \u2014 naturally, it\u2019s accessible only by seaplane, 70 kilometers to the southwest of the capital of Mal\u00e9.<\/p>\n

\"Hideaway<\/a><\/p>\n

There\u2019s something to be said, of course, for innovation, for surprise, for hotels that succeed in unlikely places or unusual genres. But an overwater villa hotel in the Maldives is none of these things. A hotel like the Hideaway Beach Resort and Spa doesn\u2019t need a revolutionary concept \u2014 it needs only to deliver on the promise of Maldivian waterside luxury. In this case that means large and lavish villas, some on or near the beach, others suspended over the water, with glass-floored living rooms and water\u2019s-edge plunge pools.<\/p>\n

\"Park<\/a><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a sense in which it\u2019s true that if you\u2019ve seen one overwater resort you\u2019ve seen them all, but you\u2019d have to be pretty jaded to actually find yourself saying it. It\u2019s a concept that surprises all over again with each iteration, and in the case of the Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa it definitely doesn\u2019t hurt that the villas themselves are as stylish as they are. The Aqua Villas are the ones on stilts, and they\u2019re necessarily striking, but the Island Villas, half of them with private pools, are in no way second-class.<\/p>\n

\"Como<\/a><\/p>\n

All of Cocoa Island\u2019s suites and villas are over the water in the form of a dhoni<\/em>, a traditional fishing boat, with a short staircase out the back door, leading from a tiny balcony straight down into the ocean\u2019s shallow waters. The \u201cboats\u201d are firmly moored to the sea floor, as you can see at low tide, but at high tide the gentle waters lap against the edges of the balcony. The view from the bed, through large French windows, is nothing but calm and unbroken Indian Ocean as far as the eye can see.<\/p>\n
