Discovering the Maldives is one of the best options for a relaxing and exotic holiday. Being over 99% water and one of the globe’s most scenic beach destinations, the Maldives has a lot going for it in terms of ocean views.
However, to enjoy the most exclusive vacation experience the Maldives have to offer, you need to stay at least a night or two in one of the Maldives’ water villa resorts.
The Sunset Water Villa at InterContinental Maldives: Spectacular Sunset Views
Are you partial to a good sunset? If so, you can’t go wrong with InterContinental Maldives’ Sunset Water Villa. Facing the west, it’s one of the best places to be to watch the magical light show as the sun sets over the Indian Ocean against a canvas streaked with hues of orange, pink, and purple.
This water villa offers well over a thousand square meters of private to spread out across and is perfect for two, offering the sensation of being immersed in nature, with nothing but ocean around for miles. Nevertheless, you can rest assured that you’ll be able to unwind in luxury with all the modern conveniences on-hand: the villa is decked with a plush king bed with a choice of down or hypo-allergenic pillows as well as an open-plan bathroom stocked with BYREDO luxury amenities.
Spend your days lounging on the cushioned daybed set on the deck overlooking the ocean or swimming lazy laps in your private plunge pool as you drink in views of the sea and sky overhead. The villa conveniently comes with a portable BOSE BlueTooth speaker, which is great for setting the mood out on the deck in the evenings along with the soft deck lighting.
Whenever you feel adventurous, descend a few steps from your deck and slip right into the warm embrace of the Indian Ocean. Among the many amenities that the villa comes with are snorkeling equipment, life vests, and beach towels.
When you feel like exploring the rest of the resort from your water villa (and communal areas tend to be located quite a bit further away from water villas at most resorts, in order to afford water villa occupants a higher level of privacy and seclusion), just hop onto the complimentary resort bicycles allocated to your villa.
Finolhu’s Ocean Pool Villa: Direct Access to Waters Rich in Marine Life
At almost 2,000 square feet, this water villa is around the same size as InterContinental Maldives’ Sunset Water Villa.
Offering a private plunge pool, plenty of deck space to lounge in, an outdoor shower, and direct ocean access, this water villa has the added advantage of being located in the Baa Atoll, known for its biodiversity.
The One-Bedroom Water Reserve at Soneva Fushi: An Iconic Water Slide
Among the most iconic water villas in the Maldives, this is one of the few water villas that comes with its own water slide, and a massive one it is! Enough said.
