Arriving by twin-engine de Havilland seaplane over the turquoise atolls of the Maldives is an initiation into pure tropical luxury. Overwater villas perched on timber stilts blend seamlessly into pristine coral reef lagoons teeming with baby blacktip reef sharks, eagle rays, and vibrant parrotfish.
Retractable Roofs and Submarine Wine Cellars
Leading resorts in Baa Atoll feature master bedrooms equipped with retractable roofs operated by remote touchscreens, allowing guests to fall asleep under the equatorial stars. Subterranean dining pavilions set six meters beneath the waves provide degustation tasting menus accompanied by rare vintage Champagnes.
