tepping onto a Maldivian island really is the closest thing to paradise that we can imagine. The picture perfect nirvana is on the top of every honeymooner’s list and in recent years – particularly for UAE residents – has become a family vacation destination, too. With aquamarine water as far as the eye can see, set against swathes of pristine white beach and lush vegetation, you can quite literally leave your troubles behind.
For those who have been to the Maldives, it’s the type of place you think about when you close your eyes. Here, you’ll experience the highest levels of service and hospitality the world has to offer. One such otherworldly resort is Atmosphere Kanifushi. To reach the resort, guests land in Malé’s Velana International Airport. From there, you’re greeted by a smiling representative from the hotel who whisks you off to a seaplane hangar where you take a short 20-minute ride to Atmosphere Kanifushi. This five-star, all-inclusive resort offers the ultimate vacation for both couples and families, with a range of incredible accommodation, from luxury overwater villas – complete with private plunge pools – to beach villas with direct access to the shore. Prices start from Dhs2,393 per night (all-inclusive) for a standard Sunset Beach Villa.
