Indulge in a Private Ocean Paradise: The Blissful Sighs of the Maldives

By TRAVELER Luxe

 

Life should be spent on beautiful things. Pick up a string of beautiful pearls from the Indian Ocean—Vagaru Island in the northern Maldives is enclosed by 17 acres of fine white sand and a sapphire-blue lagoon. This place is a private ocean paradise.

The newly opened Viceroy Maldives by Viceroy Hotels & Resorts in 2012 boasts 61 villas, much like the sturdy hull of a traditional Maldivian dhoni boat, tightly sheltering this coral island. Of these, 32 are built over the turquoise waters as green as ice cream soda, while the other 29 are rooted on the beach, allowing guests to easily dip their ankles into the soft sand anytime they wish.

 

Each villa is a self-contained universe, spaced far apart to ensure excellent privacy. The “Royal Villa,” as the name suggests, spans an impressive 406 square meters, while even the smallest “Beach Villa” and “Water Villa” offer 103 square meters of space.

 

The furnishing inside the villas is extremely simple, with light brown minimalistic lines outlining only the most essential needs. A comfortable king-size bed faces the sea without any barriers, and every villa even comes with its own private deepwater swimming pool, bringing you face to face with the ocean.

Having arrived at one of the most beautiful paradises on earth, forget all those annoying worldly concerns. Here, you can choose to frolic in the sea in countless ways, saying hello to the colorful underwater creatures—whether it’s reef diving, scuba diving, trying jet skiing, or sailing with the sea breeze, all are perfect ways to waste a beautiful life.

 

Or perhaps, coming to the Maldives is just about whispering to the world: “Shh… be quiet.” Then simply lounge on the wooden sundeck in front of your villa, on that comfy sunbed. Even if you do nothing but stare out at the endless blue sea and sky, daydream or take a nap, lazily savoring the pure taste of the ocean with half-closed eyes, every breath here will turn into a sigh of happiness.
