Mirihi has one of the best house reefs in the Maldives, so just a quick paddle out nd you'll be swimming with turtles and reef sharks, book into a snazzy water villa and you can vault in straight in from your private terrace, Stuff yourself silly in one of the four restaurants then book into the Duniye spa for a full-body massage.

- Jumeirah resorts, Jumeirah Vittaveli and Jumeirah Dhevanafushi
By day Jumeirah Vittaveli is the place for an active holiday. You can enjoy almost any water sport, take a kickboxing class or work out in the ocean-view gym. If gaining a skill is your thing, learn to cook Maldivian style, go out fishing or make coconut oil from scratch. For a complete kick-back, Jumeirah Dhevanafushi has a sea-view spa that allows you to watch parrot fish and turtles wild in the ocean as you receive a full-body massage.
By night, in both resorts you can unwind under the seriously starry sky.
- Velassaru
Velassaru resort is the perfect winter-sun gatewaywith an average temperature of 29C. From the minute you step on the private island you will experence the ultimate in luxury, from super-friendly staff to poolside cocktails nd private dining on the nearby sandbank. The island is small enough that the nearest bar is always a stroll away, but not so small that you run out of things to do. The hotel provides free snorkels and flippers for every guest, as well as plenty of beach towels. With a huge range of watersports, fishing and diving excursions, and even glass-bottomed kayarks, there are plenty of ways to explore the crystal-clear Indian Ocean. With seven options from the elegant deluxe bungalow through to the extravagant water suite, the modern decor will not disappoint. The wildlife is also second to none, with stingrays and fruit bats making regular appearances. Every week, there is an open-air cinema on the beach.
