1 A Private Island Buyout In The Maldives
The Dubai-based hotel group Jumeirah is synonymous with over-the-top luxury. The soaring Burj AI Arab, which reigned as the tallest hotel in the world for several years after it debuted in 1999, is a Jumeirah project. And while the company has operated hotels in the Maldives before, those past properties have been jettisoned in order to put the focus solely on its sumptuous Jumeirah Maldives Olhahali Island, which opened two years ago.
The resort, which is at the northern end of North Male atoll, is a refreshing change from the thatched-roof vernacular that dominates the design of luxe resorts here. It's more Miami Beach deco than Maldives foliage, all sleek white walls and minimalist fixtures.
There are private rooftops that are perfect for stargazing and personal pools at every villa, plus an Ayurvedic-focused overwater spa and a beachfront tennis court.
The wide range of villas are located along the shore and above the ocean, but the standout is the three-bedroom Beach Retreat triplex, which has its own gym, private beach and full-sized pool. The hotel offers a complete menu of activities, from outdoor movie screenings to classes that help you learn some of the local language, Dhivehi.
For the first time, and only for Robb Report, Jumeirah is offering a full-island buyout, allowing one reader and up to 159 friends to take over the entire 67-villa property and turn it into a private tropical playground for three nights.
This exclusive package includes marine transfers from Male airport on the resort's speedboat, a private fireworks show and gala dinner, and a sundowner party accompanied by a live band.
