STAY IN A SUBTERRANEAN VILLA AT PULLMAN MALDIVES MAAMUTAA

As we daydream about future trips, the Maldives will undoubtedly be uppermost in many of our minds thanks to its unparalleled tranquillity and the endless opportunities to mingle with marine life. Be one of the few people in the world to experience an underwater berdoom by checking into the Pullman Maldives Maamutaa resort on the Gaafu Alifu Atoll, which has two new Aqua Villas.

Sized at 1,216 square feet, each of the villas have two bedrooms, one of which is dramatically submerged beneath the turquoise waters and encased in glass so guests can gaze out on the island’s vibrant marine life and endless coral reef. Once you’ve finished watching the turtles and mantas glide past, take a dip in the private infinity pool, step into the second bedroom to look out across the ocean, or chill in the villa’s open-air bathroom.

Want to turn up the romance? The villas are in a prime position to watch the sunrise and are only a short walk away from Sol Rising, the resort’s sunrise bar. pullmanmaldivesmaamutaa.com
