Set on a pristine private island in the Maldives, this resort is a wonderful setting to indulge in some much-needed R&R. While getting here isn’t easy (you’ll need to take a 35-minute seaplane ride from Male International Airport), it’s well worth the journey. Made up of 33 on-land and 44 over-water villas, the retreat features its own private lagoon and endless stretches of powdery white beaches. The expansive spa offers a variety of body scrubs, massages and ayurvedic treatments, and there’s a beautiful infinity pool and fitness center, too. One of the best places to take in the stunning ocean views is the John Jacob Astor Estate. The three-bedroom, over-water villa is ideal for larger groups and boasts an enormous 990-sq-ft private pool plus two private plunge pools and a whirlpool.
