Maldives

This is an enchanted world between Earth and Sky where time slows down and blue waters stretch to the World's edge. Where glorious sunsets dissolve into the Sea giving way to a billion stars. Where tiny verdant atolls standing a hair's breadth above pellucid waters give refuge to those escaping the real world. The Maldives is magic, romance, solitude, endless sea and infinite sky. Resorts that epitomise luxury and otherworldiness; that combine the good things of the flesh and the spirit. This is the ultimate balm to the jaded spirit.

It is perfect for honeymooners, families or indeed anyone looking for a few days of hedonistic luxury to rejuvenate and recover. Apart from the stunning spas, the diving is quite superb and some of the resorts offer a surprising range of acitivities for those who like a leavening of exercise.
