Romance & Wellness in the Maldives

The Maldives takes you to a world of private islands made up of footprint free, white sand beaches fringed with glistening azure waters. With one hotel per island, it’s the ideal holiday sanctuary for a romantic getaway, and many hotels offer activities and programmes for younger guests making it popular with families too.
