ESCAPE TO THE MALDIVES

THE ISLAND OF MURAVANDHOO

saw the opening of the Joali Maldives in December. A 45-minute seaplane ride from the capital, Malé, it comprises 73 beach and over-water villas, four restaurants, and an ESPA spa specialising in “raw fitness” – expect a workout involving coconut hand weights. Sustainability is a big focus here – produce is grown on a nearby island and more than 1,000 trees were preserved during its construction. The hotel features immersive artworks curated by No Lab – guests can dine in the likes of a manta ray treehouse, or explore an underwater installation when snorkelling. joali.com
