The best holidays are shared.
MALDIVES
There are some incredible villas across the Maldives and if budget allows we love to recommend exclusive hire at the enormous Amilla residences or the sprawling Avani pavilions.
Another approach is to take over the Anantara islands however you like – there are 2 adult only islands plus a family island that acts as the hub for all the facilities, allowing everyone to have the perfect balance of time together and comfortable room options.
Check out this itinerary for our suggestion of how to spend 10 days.
