At your service, two butlers in a boat

The Private Reserve, Maldives, £72,000 a week

ON Arrival at this two-storey villa standing in the Indian ocean, a personal masseur will give you a massage to assuage any jet lag.

A speedboat will take you to the villa, on a private platform over the crystal- clear ocean and coral reef, with two butlers who will be at your beck and call. A water slide sweeps down from the top floor into the calm water and the vast living room has a glass bottom to watch fish dart about in the coral gardens under the villa.

there’s also room for a sauna, steam room, gym, cinema and even a library.
