Durva's Travel Diaries: Maldives

Water Villa, Vivanta 

Maldives! If there is a paradise on earth, I think it is Maldives. For all us-fun in the sun lovers, there is no better place on earth than Maldives. The luxury of island hopping in your own private chopper, the out of your fantasies   room on the stilts in the water with private access into the sea. The snorkeling and exploring fish and underwater world. This trip change my definition of water for all life. The Vivanta, Taj Coral Reefs resort, with amazing views from your own private island of sands. It is filled with all the luxuries in the world that you could ever imagine. With Mandava spa in the house, open air massages on the beach, open air dining on the sands under the stars with waves coming and touching you gently, cultural performances every night, I think Maldives for me is heaven on earth. From the time you land on this little strip of island called "Male" airport, you are in water. 

Your private jet boat takes you to your atoll, your island. There are 3000 atoll islands in the sea that comprises Maldives. Each island is owned by a hospitality owner and your hotel is your private island from where you see nothing but the sea, the sky and the marine life under you. Watching the crab race one evening was a memorable experience worth a note. Snorkeling, scuba diving and chilling is all you do in Maldives. So for all water babies, this is a piece of heaven and I am surely revisiting Maldives at this one friend's property -  Six Senses Soneva Fushi or Gili, hoping to spot Jennifer Anniston who is said to spend a lot of her quite time here!
