The Maldives has to be the most beautiful place on earth! The beaches are amazing and the water is surreal. I cannot say enough positive things about Anantara as well! My husband and I were totally impressed with our experience here. The rooms are huge and extremely private. The resort is so big that you often feel as though you are the only people there. The restaurants are excellent and the staff is wonderful. Everyone we encountered were extremely accommodating and attentive. We definitely hope to return in the near future. Highly recommend!!
