5* all-inclusive Maldives island escape with optional overwater villa

• Condé Nast Traveller recommended: Taj Coral Reef Resort & Spa has been named by Condé Nast Traveller as one of the finest places to stay in the Maldives. The Water villa is undeniably the resort's showstopper. Perched above a calm lagoon, it includes luxury appointments like a spacious tub and a private deck leading directly to the waters.

• Diver's paradise: The resort boasts its own coral reef and shipwreck, making it ideal for divers. You can also take to the waters on a catamaran, canoe or glass-bottom boat. If you're fascinated by marine life but prefer to stay dry, you can embark on a submarine tour instead, on the world's largest deep-diving passenger vessel.

• Soul-soothing spa: Peaceful, luxurious and steeped in age-old traditions, Jiva Spa is one of the resort’s many highlights. All treatments use natural products and draw on ancient techniques, primarily Ayurveda and reflexology. Its signature treatment, The Chandana, incorporates the cooling and nourishing effects of tropical ingredients.
