It’s scenic, serene and indeed spectacular. In fact, many celebs have described Jumeirah Maldives as the most romantic place on earth. Why? Well perhaps…this coastal escape not ony looks fabulous, it’s also a place you can linger in, whether practising yoga or feasting on local oysters, the experience goes far beyond the sea.
Superb scenery
The islands here seem painted by a divine finger – think unruffled bleached – sand beaches, shimmering shoals of rainbow fish and burning-pink sunsets. The resort is located in the North Malé Atoll, easily reachable by an exhilarating speedboat jaunt or seaplane from Velana International Airport. Rising up like an exotic Aphrodite from the azure waters, it is in breezy harmony with its lush setting: All villas are bathed in natural light with huge windows gazing onto the emerald-green tropical flora and glistening horizons
The décor is in harmony with nature and you can choose from 67 secluded beach and over-water villas strewn across lush gardens. Ultra-spacious and ideal for couples, friends and families, each villa features a sparkling private infinity pool and roof-top terrace with a dining area which caters to exceptional signature dining. Shimmers serves Greek Mediterranean delicacies al fresco by chef Roberto Rispoli in a vibrant beach club setting, and has a resident DJ and regular live music performances. There is an adventurous blend of Peruvian and Japanese cuisine known as ‘Nikkei’ at Kayto, while Glow serves up innovative international dishes and sumptuous breakfasts. And if you’re on a honeymoon, you can opt for a starlit private meal on the pier as you listen to the gentle sound of lapping waves.
It is also a paradise for water-sport lovers. You can go snorkelling, pedal boating, windsurfing, kayaking or embark on an hour-long submarine tour of the island. You can also dive into the sparkling infinity pool, relax on the stylish sofas and gaze out to the Indian Ocean, or play tennis on the on-site courts. There are endless things to do if your activity itch strikes, from yoga classes to fitness sessions. Children will be also be thrilled by the Water Splash and outdoor cinema. To retreat from everyday life and be immersed in an oasis of serenity, there’s also Talise Spa, which features six over-water treatment rooms.
