A room in a beach suite at Waldorf Astoria Maldives

Located off the southern tip of India, the chain of coral islands known as the Maldives boasts stunning aquamarine waters, soft white sands and the ultimate in relaxing, get-away-from-it-all vacations. On the small, remote island of Manafaru, Waldorf Astoria Maldives is home to just 83 thatch-roofed villas and suites. Done in contemporary style, each is a sanctuary, but if you really want to indulge, book the Grand Water Villa with its own infinity pool and endless views. Though you're far from so-called civilization, you will find no shortage of luxuries here, from al fresco fine dining at Saffron restaurant to Ayurvedic treatments at Modum Spa. Whether you want to laze on a private beach or embark on a deep-sea fishing expedition, you're sure to find an activity that's just right for you.
