Sited on a coral atoll, with six sandy swooshes of beach, Hilton Maldives Amingiri Resort & Spa fits anyone’s idea of paradise. Curving wooden jetties lead to cabanas built on stilts above the Indian Ocean. Equally joyous is the transfer from airport to island. A resort speedboat zips for 20 minutes across aquamarine shallows, under which whale sharks, giant mantas and 1,000 other sea life species play. It’s paradise found.
Yet Amingiri is special even among the 1,192 islands of the Maldives. The resort exudes a life-affirming magic that’s hard to find elsewhere. Parents, couples and solo travellers report that they leave feeling younger than when they arrived. This Indian Ocean sanctuary is a tonic for the soul.
