hospitality of the Maldivian people. You don’t have to worry anything other than to enjoying the mirror-like waters. Where to stay To understand the reasons that entice visitors here, just imagine the beautiful scenery: oceanfront, total privacy on a virtually deserted island and ultra-chic bungalows that go to make up the luxurious resorts ... And as if that were not enough, there is the stunning beauty of the Maldives. Practically an oasis of pleasure in the midst of one of the most stunning scenery in the world. Some are built above the water, while others are like fishing boats, moored to a simple wooden deck; irresistible. The landscapes are like scenes from a movie but, believe me, they exist and are considered exterior artwork. They are fantastic islands that offer everything a couple needs! So, needless to say, the honeymoon is one of the most important moments in the life of a couple, right? It makes you want to ask for time to stop, especially if the trip goes according to plan. For this, it is important that you make the right choice of hotel because, after all, that is where you will experience all the services and refinements with the love of your life. Here, we can highlight the two hotels of the Taj network, where we had the privilege of staying and below we recount some more of the features of these idyllic resorts in the Maldives. Taj Exotica Resort and Spa Maldives Welcome to the island sanctuary where the luxury and landscape create a mesmerizing experience with nature. Located on the exotic Emboodhu Finolho Island, in the middle of one of the largest natural lakes in the world, is the five star Taj Exotica Resort and Spa Maldives. This multi-awarded resort offers the perfect blend of contemporary design of its accommodations, natural beauty and impeccable service. Luxurious suites, private pools and personal decks with endless views of the blue sea make this an even more attractive refuge. Each of the 64 villas are decorated in the shades and textures of the classic Maldives style, covered with palm thatch, being blocked only by the glorious sunset. Even in the face of so much comfort, two other items caught our attention: the personalized butler service and a range of treatments at the Jiva Grand Spa. Each villa has a dedicated butler who performs task ranging from, for example, unpacking the baggage to taking care of drinks,
thus providing a set of amenities. The Spa offers the ultimate in Indian rejuvenation such as Indian aromatherapy massages, yoga, meditation and wellness treatments such as Alepa, which evokes the aura to a fabulous lifestyle, leaving the visitor almost in the clouds. Seal of Quality / Suggestion: make a type of art stamp. Voted the best resort in Asia and the 2nd best in the world by Conde Nast Traveller, Taj Exotica also won praise from Elite Traveller Magazine and International Traveller Australia. In parallel, a member of the select luxury programs in the world, including Leading Hotels of The World, Signature, Virtuoso, Altour Hotel Collection, Kiwi Collection, Conde Nast Johansens and American Express Fine Hotels & Resorts. Vivanta by Taj Coral Reef Maldives Among the coral reefs, where you can admire all the blue colour tones, is the Vivanta by Taj Coral Reef Maldives. Located on Hembadhu Island, the resort has been renovated and redesigned to offer comfortable accommodation with discrete luxury, replete with touches of the local culture. With one of the best spots for diving, both amateurs and professionals can explore all the beauty of marine life through water activities. The 62 villas offers spacious rooms with infrastructure worthy of someone who deserves to have all the pampering during an unforgettable stay. In addition, an infinity pool, outdoor shower and walled garden are also some of the features that harmonise with the tropical setting. This hotel, precisely because of the Taj network, has other wonders to offer including the Jiva Spa, which has exclusive massage rooms, steam room and a boutique shop. The use of unique natural products in a cool and harmonious environment are also prerequisites of this fantastic Spa. In order to leave you in ecstasy, fragrant flowers, soft music and eccentric flavours complement the senses. Tourist Tips If you are concerned about having to choose one of these two hotels in which to stay, do not worry! Usually they offer different packages for you to share your days off! A good tip is to have your first stay at the Taj Exotica, as the agitated atmosphere is more characteristic, and then enjoy the more relax programs of the Coral Reef. Another essential of the trip is the Indian cuisine, also highlighted in the hotel chain. Believe me, your tastes will never be the same after experiencing the variety of options of the attractive menus! Where to Eat At both the Taj Exotica and the Coral Reef, it is possible to indulge yourself with their tasty haute cuisine dishes. Both have a priority to please even the most discerning palates, as the hotels receive tourists around the world. The Taj Exotica has the following restaurants: 24 degrees; the The Deep End; the Bar Ecuador and 24 hour dining in the Villa, the latter with a wide selection of food and beverages served 24 hours in the comfort of your own house or suite. Others include fixed menus with fresh seafood, meats and vegetables and also themed menus, and gourmet creations that make anyone’s mouth water. Vegetarians also have special choices complemented with wines from the best wineries. Tropical fruits are always served in abundance, precisely because they are the basis of the local diet. The presentation of the dishes dispenses with the need for critical comments, as they are carefully prepared with the utmost refinement.
