DAY 1-2 USA - Malé, Maldives

Depart the US on your flight to Male, the Maldives’ capital. Some departure airports require departure a day earlier.

On arrival at Male International Airport, be greeted by our representative and transfer to your speedboat, which will whisk you to your resort—the gorgeous Adaaran Select Hudhuran Fushi. Nestled in blissful seclusion, this All-Inclusive hideaway sits in the North Male Atoll on Llohifushi Island and is fringed by pristine waters and sands. Soak up the views on your 30-minute journey and on arrival, check in to your Beach Villa and enjoy complimentary sparkling wine and fresh fruit before enjoying dinner and the evening at leisure. Gracing the palm-dotted beach frontage, your air-conditioned villa is steps from the sands and offers plentiful space to kick back. Each features a contemporary interior, an al-fresco deck with ocean views, an outdoor en-suite bathroom and modern amenities. For additional luxury, upgrade to an ocean-stilted Sunrise or Sunset Ocean Villa, each perched above the calm turquoise waters.

Included: Dinner

DAY 3 Maldives

There’s always something to entice you at the Adaaran Select and your only challenge is what to select from its many leisure offerings. Your All-Inclusive package includes all meals and snacks at a selection of its seven restaurants and bars, with breakfast served at the Banyan Main Restaurant or Lohis Wave restaurant (March-November), and other meals and drinks at the other dine-around destinations. After a delicious breakfast at the Banyan, maybe let the hours slip away beside the pool, on the sands or in the translucent ocean waters.  Or, choose from the non-motorized watersports included in your stay. Roam the underwater reefs on a snorkeling excursion, try windsurfing or stand-up paddle boarding, or glide over the waves in a canoe.  Tonight, make a reservation to dine on sumptuous Indian cuisine at the Indian Pavilion restaurant or relax over a more casual dinner at the Adaaran’s fabulous Beach Grill. After dinner, perhaps join in the fun of a sparkling beach party under the stars.

Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

DAY 4 Maldives

Make the best of your last day at the Adaaran Select by dipping into the activities you haven’t yet experienced. Ocean-lovers can take a catamaran sailing trip (catamaran license required) or make complimentary use of a snorkeling mask and fins for an independent snorkeling expedition. Alternatively, enjoy a dolphin-watching boat trip or sunset cruise—your choice of either is included in your package. As darkness falls, perhaps take a seat for dinner at the Sunset Restaurant (prior reservations needed for non-Ocean Villa guests) to savor delicious continental, Indian, Arabic of Chinese cuisine as the stars twinkle above.

Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

DAY 5 South Malé

Say farewell to the Adaaran Select on a speedboat transfer to the nearby Adaaran Prestige Vadoo (please note the speedboat transfer will make a stop at Male airport before continuing on to Vadoo). This exclusive, upscale resort occupies its own palm-filled island and comprises 50 plush water bungalows above the ocean, each with a dedicated 24-hour butler on hand to cater for your every whim. On arrival, sip sparkling wine and be shown to your Sunrise Water Villa where complimentary fruits and goodies await, and complimentary canapes will be served this evening. Your villa is a lavishly equipped, thatched-roof retreat, which boasts a private sun deck, steps into the sea, a sumptuous four-poster bed, bathroom with a marine-life glass viewing panel and a long list of other comforts. The Vadoo was named the World’s Leading Water Villa Retreat at the 2010 World Travel Awards, so you’re assured of a truly luxurious stay. If you wish, upgrade to a Sunset Water Villa, which is positioned to showcase the glorious tropical sunsets each evening. Or, if you’re with your partner, go for a Honeymoon Villa, which offers additional space and romantic extras.

Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

DAY 6 South Malé

Begin with breakfast at Vadoo’s beautiful Farivalhu restaurant before immersing yourself in this outstanding resort. Perhaps laze on your deck to watch stingrays, turtles and fish in the azure waters below or descend into the ocean to snorkel alongside them courtesy of the complimentary mask and fins. Alternatively, snooze under the palms, play beach volleyball, or pamper yourself at the spa (extra charge, with discount for one treatment). All meals are included in your All-Inclusive plan, including breakfast, lunch and dinner at the Farivalhu, plus unlimited select beverages and afternoon tea and snacks. Tonight, choose from the Vadoo’s two glamorous restaurants, either dining at the Farivalhu or feasting on Japanese cuisine and fresh seafood at the sleek Kithajima restaurant.
