Road to Recovery

Spectacular tropical isles and peaceful rural reveries—these four spots provide the perfect pampering to overcome the stresses of city life

INTO THE BLUE

MALDIVES A breathtaking short flight from Male and a luxury speedboat trip deliver guests to the slice of heaven that is Outrigger’s latest opening: Konotta Maldives Resort. With the fine white sand of the atoll between your toes and a fresh sea breeze in your hair, any vestiges of the stresses and strains of daily city life will be gloriously swept away. Outrigger has borrowed the Hawaiian ethos of “Ke ’Ano Wa’a”—making the guest feel part of the family. The most interesting member of Konotta’s family is surely the resident marine biologist, on hand to take you on a guided tour of the reef and introduce Outrigger’s coral conservation initiative. outrigger.com
