25 years ago we came the first time to the maldives. It was much less luxury.. We enjoyed the incredible underwater life. Today nearly everything is destroyed or dead. Today you can „swim“ in your private pool and watch underwater life at the TV.

How does the sewage sytem work, does it run under the walkway or under the sea? Is there any special difficulty in making them ‘hover’ over the sea? What about designing for high and low tides? How about tall waves during storms?

So what's next after you unpack? any activities ? How is the dining options?

There are more than 10 restaurants you can go to! After you unpack there’s so much stuff to do! Snorkelling, diving, jet ski, tennis, wine tastings, yoga, cooking classes, seabob, sunset cruises, …

Excellent review! Just a few questions: 1) Regarding Marriott brands, how does this resort compare to the St. Regis? Which one would you pick? 2) Tossing in a Hilton brand, out of The Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, and Waldorf Astoria, which one would you pick?

[@laurandnicolas]

Those are some great questions! It all depends on what you're looking for! WA & RC have more dining options than the St Regis. St Regis has bigger villas than RC, but WA has even bigger villas. St Regis feels much more natural than both WA and RC, which are both manmade islands. Snorkeling is also better at the St Regis. We lost our hearts to the St Regis, as it was the first resort we ever did in The Maldives, but we would gladly go back to all 3 :-).

Meals and gas for the motorbike included in that number. The world we live in is pretty messed up, if wondrously beautiful 😅

Maldives are incredible no doubt… if anyone is wondering most if not all the electricity comes from burning diesel on one side of the island… the more we in the west watch, lust then make a trip like this reality the less likely the Maldives will exist.

That’s true for a part, but most newly built resorts now gather most of their electricity from solar (like at the Ritz-Carlton)! But unfortunately many older resorts and local islands are still very much reliant on diesel!

It will probably be upwards of $700 for the seaplane (15min ride). Most guests take the speedboat (which takes around 50 minutes and is a little bit cheaper), because you actually save a lot of time by not having to wait on the seaplane, and you can arrive and depart the resort at any time of day (seaplanes only fly until 4pm)!
