Only accessible by yacht or seaplane, this idyllic resort isn’t the easiest place to get to, but the journey is certainly worth it. Located in South Male Atoll, Isthaafushi – which means ‘pearl island’ in Dhivehi - is one of the most coveted private islands in the Maldives. Available for exclusive use, the island features two beach and overwater villas and one four-bedroom residence, sleeping up to 24 guests in total. Each property boasts expansive outdoor decks complete with a jacuzzi or infinity pool. A dedicated culinary team are on hand to whip up bespoke meals and there’s a wellness concierge at the overwater spa to provide customized therapies and treatments. Guests can also take a boat a short distance to the main island to make the most of the resort’s gourmet restaurants and bars.
