Velaa Private Island
Velaa Private Island is so fantastical, snow falls here. At least it does in the Maldives' only snow room, just one of the ultimate indulgences of this ultra-luxe resort. Privileged guests can relax in luxury at My Blend by Clarins Spa, hone their short game at the Velaa Golf Academy designed by Ryder Cup Captain José María Olazábal, or explore the undersea world with a Seabob, or “Bond-style,” semi-submarine. Polite luxury is the motto here, where all 47 private villas — 18 suspended over water — feature private pools and butler service.
