The ultimate Maldives vacation. Room for 100 only.
The Maldives are like Marmite. In a world where everyone loves Marmite. Heck, we had to be dragged kicking and screaming, via Orlebar Brown’s Spring collection, the first time we went. Turns out it really is the place where all your bucket-list clichés come true, especially when washed down with vodka martinis overlooking an endless sea bluer than a boy’s eye (cat’s, if that’s more your thing right now), toes dipped in sand softer than a baby’s bottom. And yeah, those overwater villas really are all they’re cracked up to be. Though we prefer the beach villas. Tell all your friends.
But in an archipelago where entry-level is exclusive-as, the ante keeps getting upped to levels even Madonna would raise a carefully-tucked eyebrow at. So how’s this for fancy; two of the Maldives’ most luxurious private-island resorts – Milaidhoo and The Nautilus – have created the summer escape to end all summer escapes. They’ve chartered a 100-seat, all flat-bead business class jet for a one-off flight from London to the Maldives, swishing you in the most luxurious way imaginable, to a two-week stay at whichever of those resorts takes your fancy. Which is a bit like choosing your favourite child (cat, if that’s more your thing).
