Siyam World, Maldives
Nothing can quite prepare you to fly into the Maldives and witness clusters of ringed-shaped islands spread out across the Indian Ocean. The Maldives, with its pristine white beaches, turquoise lagoons and natural coral reefs, is an exclusive destination often associated with honeymooners and a jet-setting crowd. Yet, in reality, the collection of 1,200 islands spread across 26 atolls is a destination offering relaxation and luxury less than four hours from Dubai. Enter Siyam World, one of the country’s newest resorts. Situated on the remote island of Dhigurah, deep in the heart of the Indian Ocean, the property boasts 21 accommodation categories of one-to-six-bedroom villas, pavilions and The Beach House Collection residences. For exploration above and below the waves, Dhigurah is a fantastic place for scuba diving and snorkelling excursions, whether you want to swim with sharks and rays or embark on a sunset dolphin cruise. The resort also offers sea bobbing (a mini handheld jetski that lets you drop beneath the ocean waves), electric surfing and horse riding on the beach. But for the utmost peace and tranquillity, the Veyo Spa offers treatments to relax the mind, body and soul.
