The Maldives Luxury Spa Resorts Over-the-water bungalows villa suites. Joali, Patina, Gili In Depth

Travel with me in luxury to the Maldives in amazing over the water bungalows, villas and suites in-depth to experience award-winning luxury resorts in The Maldives with my fabulous supplier partners at Island Destinations, The Authority for Luxury Travel where I was wined, dined, spa'ed and pampered like the rich and famous at four of the most amazing Maldives luxury resorts that I am able to book for you. With personalized butler service at every resort, the Maldivian culture embodies an outstanding service level that is recognized on a global scale. Experience paradise first-hand on four completely different islands and learn how to get from destination to destination via sea planes and boat transfers. First follow me to the Joali Resort Brands, starting with Joali Being, which sets itself apart from other luxury resorts in the Maldives with its focus on being a luxe wellness island retreat. They have amazing on site technology and programs centered on 4 pillars: mind, microbiome, skin and energy. Cryo, spa, yoga, fitness, nutrition, herbalist… it’s all covered with specialists who develop a plan for your goals. The healthy dining includes options like wagyu steak and grilled octopus, which were delicious, my favorites, plus organic wines. If you crave unhealthy foods, their sister brand is only a 15 minute boat ride away and you can shuttle back and forth. Follow me there to Joali Maldives, a family resort with delicious food and cocktails, where I had my fill of the incredible caviar and champagne. Next follow me via sea plane to Patina Maldives, Fari Islands, neighbor property of The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands and Capella, opening in 2025, where I was surrounded by modern luxury, clean lines and beautiful architectural design, eclectic and artistic with activities like a vegan cooking lesson at their signature restaurant, Roots. Then last but not least, experience Robinson Crusoe inspired barefoot luxury at the Gili Lankanfushi, Maldives, sister property to the Four Seasons, which boasts the Private Reserve, the largest overwater villa in the world. See my Crusoe Island Residence Number 1, which was exactly my style, exceptional island life, like you are deserted with every luxury at your fingertips. Experience their delicious dining, wines, culinary events and activities. These destinations are perfect for romance, honeymoons, anniversaries, weddings or get away solo, as I did, just to escape from the world and relax. The undersea world of The Maldives is breathtaking. Dive and snorkel with me among friendly turtles and eels, curious Nurse Sharks and go on a search for beautiful giant mantas. Dive Butler and Ocean Paradise partners with the resorts to bring you beautiful adventures on and under the water. If you're looking for the best spot in The Maldives to find Mantas and Whale Sharks, head to Hanifaru Bay in the Baa Atoll when you can stay nearby at the Four Seasons Landaa and Anantara Kihava. Learn all about the sustainability efforts on the islands and how they work to rebuild the reef. Follow me on my economy and business class flights on award-winning Qatar Airways and American Air where I could watch 18 1/2 a film by my friend, Dan Mirvish. A special thank you to all my new Resort onsite friends, the fabulous outstanding staff at all the resorts, and my special co-stars, especially the General Managers, Ozgur Cendiz, Antonio Saponara and Nicolas Khairallah for sharing their islands with us. I am already missing my other co-stars, my fellow inspirational rockstar luxury travel advisors and all our fabulous partners. I can't wait to show you all I learned.

Hi Lainey, great video! Do you have to sit with the other guests for dinner at the resort?
