Maldives’ once-in-a-lifetime luxuryBaa Atoll, Maldives
This Maldivian property is the Muhammad Ali of the hotel world, is practically peerless and packs a mean punch. Settled on a remote atoll strung in the middle of a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, the Anantara Kihavah is not only paradise incarnate (hello white sand and Tiffany Blue seas), it also brims with every possible excess (think villa hosts, personal wine fridges, pillow menus and even glass-bottomed bathtubs, acoustic guitars and painting easels in some rooms).
The real scene-stealer, though, is Anantara’s aptly named ‘Sea’ restaurant – the world’s first underwater wine cellar and one of only a few underwater restaurants in the world. Dine on a seven-course set menu while staring straight out at tomorrow’s catch of the day.
