Up until recently, when I pictured a trip to the Maldives, I only imagined villas over turquoise blue waters and barefoot luxury on sandy shores. In October, I had the chance to see beyond the picture-postcard image with a visit to two island retreats on the Indian Ocean archipelago.
My week-long stay began with a brief arrival to the bustling capital, Malé, before hopping in a speedboat to the first stop on my trip: OBLU Nature Helengeli by SENTIDO.
