Vivanta by Taj Coral Reef, Maldives

This all-villa resort already occupies its own private island in the Maldives, surrounded by the clear turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Want to go straight from brushing your teeth to jumping in the sea? Request a Premium Indulgence Water Villa, whose bathroom doors open directly onto the deck, where you can grab a sun lounger or go for a morning swim. There’s no shortage of ways to get clean here: take your pick between your deck's outdoor rain shower or the bathrooms themselves—a spacious 118 square feet—have additional showers and deep-soaking tubs that offer views of the warm, clear and inviting water.
