Radisson Blu Resort Maldives, Indian Ocean

• Five-star Maldives moments: An otherworldly haven of white sand and crystal-clear waters, the Maldives are the Indian Ocean’s undisputed crown jewel. Tick off this bucket-list staple in style at the spectacular Radisson Blu Resort Maldives, a luxurious five-star tropical retreat. Step inside your private villa for meticulously-designed minimalist interiors, where clean lines, natural materials and sleek designs ensure a soothing and sumptuous stay. Outside, your private pool and two further pools await, while the pristine beach and turquoise ocean beckon just beyond.

• Culinary journeys: From Mediterranean and Maldivian specialties to Asian eats and comfort foods, you’ll find plenty to please at the resort’s restaurants, many of which boast spectacular sea views. Raha is your international buffet go-to at breakfast, lunch and dinner, while tantalising fresh seafood, show cooking and open-air dining await at Alifaan. Elsewhere, head to Kabuki for Japanese fusion in a swanky setting, or raise a glass over a carefully-concocted pairing dinner at The Lab. Last but not least, hit Mahurab for swoon-worthy sunsets, Eats & Beats for beach-club vibes and oven-baked pizza, and Crusoe’s for castaway-style drinks and Indian Ocean views.

• Waterfront wellness: As if your Maldives pad weren’t already a slice of paradise, further the feel-good factor with a trip to the beautiful Blu Spa. Indulge in a selection of signature massages, traditional rituals, aromatherapy and more in one of six overwater treatment rooms, and get your pre-dinner glam fix at the on-site beauty salon. And for a spot of oceanfront fitness, break a sweat at the state-of-the-art gym, or limber up at the dedicated yoga pavilion.
