Summer Island Maldives

Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa is next in the parade of ideal places in the Maldives. It is quite appropriate for a honeymoon and solitude. But if it’s fun you’re after, wild parties are held in the hotel bars. Fantastic views and a stylish interior are of course included.
Amaya Kuda Rah
- From €1,160 breakfast included

Nika Island Resort
- From €1482 breakfast included
- View the hotel
Amazing attention to detail in the interior: you could take a million photos, and each would appear to be from different locations. The hotel itself occupies an entire mini-island, which you can walk around in fifteen minutes. Nevertheless, there are several restaurants here, a spa-center, bars, a swimming pool and lots more.
From €1,500
Little houses on poles, floating breakfasts, your own personal path to the sea and hundreds of photos for Instagram. So maybe you should go and spend all the money you saved up during lockdown?
Komandoo Island Resort

Adaaran Prestige Water Villas
- From €4,077 all inclusive

One of the most luxurious holiday options in the Maldives. It’s impossible not to fall in love with this five-star hotel at first sight. Massages, spas, fitness clubs, tennis courts and, of course, amazing views from the famous bungalows on poles – you will find all that here.
These paradise islands are affordable, so now you can see that the Maldives are not only villas costing a fortune. Here’s an amazing paradox: the closed borders enable us to expand our travel horizons and discover countries that we would perhaps not have looked at in other times. So are we going to pack our suitcases and head for paradise?
