The Standard, Maldives, Raa Atoll

• Sought-after island bliss: Famed for its A list-frequented hotels in the US and London, The Standard is amongst the most glamorous names in hospitality. Its Maldivian outpost is a departure from the signature 24-hour revelry – and for guests, a total departure from reality. Come to this lifestyle resort for fantasy views, best enjoyed from the peace and comfort of your stunning overwater villa.
  
  

• Epic feasts: Keep things varied with the all-day international buffet offerings at bright and breezy Kula. If you're in the mood for something different, tuck into fresh barbecued seafood at BBQ Shak or head to Guduguda, the overwater restaurant where celebratory Maldivian dishes take centre-stage and authenticity is guaranteed by the local 'aunties' that hold court in its kitchen.
  
  

• Top-notch wellness: The Standard Spa is the slow-beating heart of the island. Standout facilities and experiences include jetlag-busting massages, sunrise yoga, one-off workshops from visiting practitioners, a gorgeous pool out on the spa deck, and a hydrotherapy circuit comprising a Turkish-inspired hammam and cypress aroma steam room and contrast plunge shower.
