Maldives Travel

The luxury started the moment we stepped off the Sri Lankan plane in Male. We were ushered into a beautifully furnished waiting room where we were greeted with fresh fruit juice and ice cold towels. We completed the check-in process whilst we waited for our seaplane transfer to Kanuhura.



The seaplanes in the Maldives are essentially a taxi service flitting between the islands. We had 1 stop on our flight to Kanuhura to drop off passengers at another resort and then a 1/2 hour flight on to One & Only.

On arrival we were greeted by name and introduced to our butler Hammed. He invited us to take our shoes off and then showed us to our Beach Villa just a few minutes walk down a sandy path.



Our room was stunning, huge double bed, open-air bathroom, cable TV, DVD player (a DVD library was just a speed-dial away to Hammed) and a patio leading onto the beach where we could sit and watch the sunset. Our bed was covered in flowers with 'Welcome' written in palm fronds!
