What Colour Is The Sun In Your Country?
The island resorts in this tiny island nation have captivated the minds of luxury travellers for years, and with your usual summer travel budget already beefed up (thanks to all those plans you had to cancel), you could well go all-in for a holiday you will never forget.

We’ve picked our favourite water villa resorts from the Maldives to help you make an informed choice

CHEVAL BLANC RANDHELI

$1,750 (₹1.2 lakh approximately) per night

THE WATER villas by Cheval Blanc Randheli create the illusion of a plush house that’s afloat on a dreamy blue floor of water. The stilted water villas are among the largest you find in Maldives. It has a massive master bedroom, with a double dressing room. The decks are where you could enjoy a one-of-its-kind dining experience over the water.

The villa has its own 12.5m private infinity pool that’s straight out of a travel magazine wish list. The bathroom is nothing less than one you would find in a 5-Star hotel on the mainland, with the finest amenities, a separate rain shower, and vanities for him and her. You are spoilt for choice with the cuisine served here, while wellness and relaxation facilities are just a stone’s throw away.

COMO COCOA DHONI

$1,800 (₹1.3 lakh approximately) per night

LOCATED ON Como Cocoa Island, the Dhoni Loft Water Villas are shaped like actual dhonis (traditional fishing boats). And yes, they also have a loft. However, unlike any dhoni, it is awash with luxury.
