Relax Maldives Style





After three full weeks, we've been offered a chance to experience true Maldivian hospitality. We spent an overnight at a resort called Bandos, only a 20 minute boat ride from Male, but a world of difference. Whenever you see one of those postcards about the white sand and the turquoise water of the Maldives, it's not photo-shopped. It really looks that way... only better.
Maldives made the decision early on to target the high end of the resort market, or as one official told me, "No backpackers." They really do it right from the spa, to the dive boat to the food.
Thanks to everyone who made this relaxing break possible, for allowing us to see another face of this incredibly beautiful country.
