FRESH ON THE SCENE IS JUST-OPENED DHIGALI

İn the serene, mostly undeveloped Raa Atoll, just a hop, skip and a jump from Malé airport. Well, strictly speaking it’s a 45-minute journey on a seaplane, but what better way to start married life than with thrilling bird’s-eye views of weird and wonderful atolls against the azure sea? Dhigali, ringed by gin-clear sea, has 45 acres to explore with sweeping beaches for romantic strolls and sensational coral reefs just offshore that teem with confetti-like flurries of neon fish. Tranquil contemporary beach villas spill onto white sand, while over-water suites have steps leading straight into the big blue.

Oh, and the vast Dhigali Suite has a beachfront infinity pool just made for twilight dips under the stars. Despite feeling blissfully away from it all, you can still dine your way around the globe at five sensational restaurants – we love the pretty plates of Asian fare at Battuta, and plucked straight-from-the-water morsels at Faru. A private supper on the sandbar, a swoon-inducing 250m-long strip of the softest sand stretching into the sapphire sea, makes for pinch-yourself memories. Come sunset, bag a spot upstairs at laidback hangout Haali, or ask one of the clever mixologists at East to shake you up a craft cocktail Fill days with exhilarating scuba adventures and watersports in the lagoon, or simply unwind in the gorgeous Dhigali spa where they focus on treatments inspired by indigenous traditions.
