“There are luxury options the world over, however, if you really want to indulge then the Maldives should be your go-to,” says Blake Hutchison, General Manager, Luxury Escapes.

“Home to some of the largest coral atolls on earth, this archipelago boasts some of the best overwater villas around.”

Finolhu is a 30-minute seaplane flight from Male, the capital of the Maldives located by a 1.8km sandbank in the UNESCO World Heritage listed Baa Atoll. The resort is also celebrating its first year of business since opening in June 2016.

Catch amazing sunsets from the resort.

“It’s a glamorous island playground where the landscape looks just as perfectly airbrushed as the beautiful people who come for the white sand and turquoise waters and stay for the chic style and vibrant Ibiza-style beach clubs,” says Hutchison (cue Delevingne).

So the deal doesn’t include airfares, but there are some seriously good deals going around. Scoot currently has sale fares from $520 return from Perth and $532 return from Sydney.
