Welcome to the Maldives. After landing at Velana International Airport you are met and taken to the jetty for a scenic speedboat transfer across the lagoon to the resort. From the boat you get your first proper look at the colours of the water, shading from deep blue to pale turquoise as you near the island.
You check in to your Lagoon Water Villa from the Pool Collection, built over the lagoon with a private deck and an infinity pool that seems to run straight into the sea. Spend the afternoon unwinding on the deck, swimming in your pool, or picking up a bicycle to explore the island at your own pace. In the evening, dinner is at The Citronelle Club, timed if you can for the sun dropping below the horizon.

Start the day with breakfast at The Citronelle Club, with fresh tropical fruit and international dishes, then pick up your complimentary snorkelling equipment. The coral reefs around the island are full of life, and on a calm morning you can expect parrotfish, schools of reef fish and often turtles close to the drop-off.
The afternoon is yours: try water sports, or simply stretch out on the beach and alternate between shade and swim. As the sun sets you head to Lazuli Beach Club for dinner, a relaxed spot right on the oceanfront where the island mood is at its strongest.
At a glance: Time needed: ~2 hrs snorkelling, rest at leisure · Travel: Within the resort · Pace: Easy

Tips & what to carry
• Snorkel in the morning when the sea is usually calmer and visibility better.
• Never touch or stand on coral, and keep a respectful distance from turtles.
• Wear a rash guard or T-shirt while snorkelling; the sun on your back is stronger than it feels.
• Motorised water sports are usually charged separately by the resort; check prices at the water sports centre.

After a leisurely breakfast at The Citronelle Club, the morning is for self-care. Your $100 spa credit goes towards a massage or a wellness ritual of your choice, a good way to slow right down halfway through the trip.
Later you head out either for a private sandbank picnic, on a strip of white sand in the middle of the sea, or to a nearby local island for a look at everyday Maldivian life. In the evening comes the champagne sunset cruise, gliding across the turquoise water as the sky turns gold and then pink. Dinner tonight is at Hadaba, where Middle Eastern flavours are served under the stars.
At a glance: Time needed: ~5 hrs of activities · Travel: Short boat rides · Pace: Easy
Schedule
• Morning: Breakfast at The Citronelle Club, then spa treatment using your $100 spa credit, about 1–1.5 hrs.

Tips & what to carry
• Book your spa slot on Day 1 so you get the time you want.
• Local islands follow local customs: cover shoulders and knees, and alcohol is not available there.
• There is no shade on a sandbank. Carry a hat, sunscreen and water.
• Keep a light layer for the cruise; the breeze on the water cools quickly after sunset.

A peaceful last morning. Begin with a yoga or meditation session by the beach, then a final breakfast at The Citronelle Club. Spend your remaining hours in the sun, taking a dip in your private pool, or cycling round the island one last time.
If time permits, slip in a final snorkelling session on the reef before you check out. The speedboat then takes you back across the lagoon to Velana International Airport for your flight home.

Vikash helped us plan our trip to Maldives. He is extremely empathetic to our budget requirements and never forced us to pay more. He gave us endless options, was kind enough to change reservations to another resort when we requested too. He was extremely patient with all our constant calls day and night and explained everything well. We missed our sea plane the day we landed in Male and even when we were going through everything, he kept in touch constantly assuring us and talking to the hotel management to help us at the earliest. He was also upset that we missed our entire experience which showed tremendous compassion and the love he has for what he’s doing. You guys are amazing and I’m going to plan all our trips with you and refer you to everyone. Cheers and continue your good work. :)
