Getaway: seven fantastic hotels in the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands
Le Grand Contrôle, a unique hotel within the Palace of Versailles
Maldives is a destination of great natural beauty and, in addition, safe.
Its unique geographic formation and the key concept of "one island, one resort" have turned this country into a covid-free haven for visitors.
This archipelago bathed by the Indian Ocean, south of
Sri Lanka,
is made up of 1,192 coral islands grouped into natural atolls, although only 185 are inhabited.
The
resorts
also usually occupy an entire atoll.
Distance and isolation
all
rolled
into one.
A separate chapter deserve their
accommodations,
raised on the lagoons and surrounded by corals and tropical fish.
The offer in Maldives is spectacular, but we stayed with these
resorts
for their extraordinary facilities and their value-added programs for the guest.
FULL REST IN NOKU MALDIVES
Located in Kuda-Funafaru, on Noonu Atoll, this
Preferred Hotels & Resorts collection
resort
is immersed in a marine ecosystem that includes
dolphins, rays
and a great diversity of tropical fish.
Thirty of its fifty villas are located directly on the shallow waters of the island, but the best is hidden in its spa, six treatment cabins surrounded by gardens and overlooking the sea.

Its
rejuvenation
programs
and
detox
protocols
combine ancient techniques from Asia such as Ayurveda with 100% natural ingredients.
In addition, they propose
yoga and meditation
sessions
at dawn.
A unique experience in front of the sea and with the only sound of the waves, the birds and the wind between the leaves.
SEASIDE FINOLHU, FAMILY ACTIVITIES
This resort, located on the Baa Atoll (UNESCO Biosphere Reserve), proposes a wide range of activities for the whole family at Easter.
From a rabbit inviting children to join in on the great Easter egg hunt to interactive games and crafts at the Oceaneers Kids Club.
There will also be
trips on the
Penguin
semi-submersible boat
to explore the exotic marine life as a family, or
snorkeling excursions
to the best diving spots on the reefs.
Pier of the Seaside Finolhu.
The hotel's gastronomy will also adapt to these dates with
special menus
at any time of the day in the Crab Shack, the Milk Lab and the Beach Kitchen.
And to sleep, you can choose between the spacious two-bedroom villas (some on the beach and others with their own pool) or the impressive
Rockstar
(with an
eight-meter
infinity
pool
and its own wine cellar, among other quirks).
RESCUE CORALS IN JOALI MALDIVES
This Raa Atoll hotel invites guests to assist its marine biology team on a pioneering
reef restoration project
, the
on-site
coral nursery
.
Coral recovery project in Joali Maldives.
The team is dedicated to feeding what they call their "fragments of hope," small corals that will eventually be transplanted to the existing domestic reef to help it regenerate (the passage of El Niño in 2016 bleached 95% of corals in Maldives due to high water temperatures).
Guests can
dive into the coral nursery
to lay new coral fragments and take measurements to assess the growth of existing fragments.
