World's Top Hotels: Chevel Blanc in the Maldives
I was lucky enough to spend my honeymoon at this out-of-this-world hotel in the Maldives, and no vacation will ever be the same again. The hotel resides on its own island, every inch of which is visual perfection. Rooms are spacious, and luxuriously appointed, each with its own private pool on the sea, as well as its own private beach, ready at all times with the hotel’s signature plush towels and pillows. Each room comes with two white Cheval Blanc bikes that you can ride over to any of the hotel’s fabulous restaurants, bars or main pool. An old wooden boat takes guests to the Spa Island, where a full day is needed. We spent 7 nights here, and it was the perfect amount of time.
Guests arrive from the airport in the custom Cheval Blanc plane. Private changing room available at the main airport.
