The Maldives

Private islands and seaplane hops

The brief

The Maldives, on the horizon — overwater villas, the seaplane and a private chef.

The honeymoon standard. We design Maldives weeks by atoll — Noonu for the most-private island resorts (Soneva Jani, Velaa, Cheval Blanc Randheli), North Malé for the close-in seaplane hop (One&Only Reethi Rah), Baa for the manta season.

We pair with a Dubai or Singapore stopover, or with a Sri Lanka tea-country week.
