MALDIVES - July 2019 • itravel

I couldn’t think of the most perfect location to celebrate my 25th Wedding Anniversary than at Club Med Finolhu Villas, Maldives, it was just flawless!

All I can say is WOW !!

We flew with Singapore Airlines on a A380 aircraft in Business Class. This great service had us arriving in Male relaxed and refreshed.

We were greeted and transferred via a 35 minute luxury speedboat ride to the stunning private island of Gasfinolhu. Cruising past idyllic islands and pristine blue waters, we were pinching ourselves, we just couldn’t believe where we were.

We stayed in an Sunset Beach Villa with private pool and our own white sandy beach. It was exceptional in every way. It was luxurious and private, with stunning views from sunrise to sunset, so peaceful. The beach was a irresistible and a perfect 25 to 27 degrees, tranquil as far as your eyes can see. Our discrete personal butler ‘Ibbe’, made sure everything was perfect. It was our own piece of paradise.

Every evening we were served Aperitifs with champagne between 5 and 6pm. Watching the sunset, accompanied by the beautiful voices of duo musicians was such an incredible setting.

The Poolside Bar staff were just the best. Very friendly, they had our drinks poured as soon as they saw us. We must of tried every cocktail on the menu. It was fabulous.

The Motu Restaurant, overlooking sparkling, crystal waters, was casual dining by day, fine dining by night, overlooking sparkling, crystal waters. Oh my food just was divine, the highest Michelin Star quality, served with paired wines, beer or any other beverage you fancied. Candlelit Dinners were held under the stars, either by the poolside or beachside, as we are serenades.

The colourful marine life we saw snorkelling was amazing. The Sunset Evening Cruise, was beautiful. To see the paradise of lagoons, atolls and island resorts, from high in the sky, whilst parasailing, was breathtaking. We did a half day trip to, the sister resort in the Maldives, Club Med Kani. Easily accessible by a 10 minute speedboat ride, which operates every hour. Guests staying at Club Med Finolhu can freely go to Club Med Kani, at no additional cost, with all the same inclusions.

Club Med Finolhu Villas, Maldives is all inclusive resort. Inclusive of: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner, Aperitifs Daily, All drinks (including wine, beer, spirits, cocktails, soft drinks and champagne), all non-motorised activities, snorkelling trips and much much more.

To experience the beauty of the Maldives with our stay at the incredible Club Med Finolhu Villas, was beyond anything we ever expected. Barefoot luxury at its best. Worth every single cent. Heaven on Earth!
