4* Reethi Beach Resort Maldives, 7-Nights

The Maldives make you feel like you've been marooned on a desert island - in a good way. Each island is a hotel in itself, meaning you can usually step right out of your room and on to the sugary sands. You'll probably have to pinch yourself as you arrive and see how bright the turquoise sea really is.

Head underwater and discover some of the planet's most beautiful marine life, or take a boat trip through the breathtakingly blue waters. If you're looking for extra special accommodation, The Maldives have plenty of glass bottomed chalets over the Indian Ocean and thatched seaside huts. We've handpicked a collection of beautiful Maldivian hotels to ensure your stay in this tropical paradise is truly unforgettable.

Indulge in outdoor spa treatments, watch sublime sunsets and enjoy freshly caught seafood under the stars. With its poster-perfect scenery and barefoot beach vibe, the Maldives is quite simply one of the most relaxing and romantic places in the world.
