It’s no secret that the Maldives is having a moment this year. And I’ve fully bought into the hype. I knew the endless clear blue waters and white sandy beaches were unrivalled by many other far-flung places, but a visit to InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort did not disappoint.
So, when given the opportunity, I was first in the queue at check in for the 11-hour flight from London’s Heathrow to the capital, Malè. After this there was a 45-minute seaplane journey to the stunning InterContinental Resort.
