Words by Sylvia Hammond.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I love exploring new destinations & staying at properties offering the highest quality service, fine dining, unique accommodation & unforgettable experiences! Whereas my husband Josh just wants to go surfing.<\/em><\/p>\n

So this is for all us non-surfing partners in the world that want to have a full luxury resort experience whilst making sure your surfing partner gets perfect surf as well.<\/p>\n

When i was younger i did my fair share of backpacking around Europe & USA, but now, every year I do my best to go away to at least one incredible place somewhere in the world: Maldives, Mauritius, Seychelles; you name it, it\u2019s crossed off or on my list!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all about stunning scenic seaplane rides, 24\/7 butler service, overwater villas with pools & swimming with dolphins\u2026 ahhh<\/p>\n

I often get asked a lot of questions from my clients and therefore it\u2019s my responsibility to know the answers, so i must first experience! Well that\u2019s what i tell the boss \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

My most common questions about an experience are:
\nWhat\u2019s the villa location on the island?
\nHow long is the seaplane or domestic flight?
\nHow far to the surf?
\nWhat unique experiences are on offer?
\nWhat are my best suggestions for celebrating a special occasion: honeymoon, wedding anniversaries, babymoons, retirement?<\/p>\n

My Top 5 Luxury Resorts that tick all the boxes are:<\/em><\/p>\n

SIX SENSES LAAMU<\/a><\/em><\/h5>\n

My top pick is Six Senses Laamu, Maldives!<\/a> This place is pure paradise: the scenery, the huge luxury overwater villas, 24\/7 butler service, fine dining, open air cinema & world class surf break Ying Yang at your doorstep. Dining on the private beach is a must and the spa is to die for!<\/p>\n

\"\"

NIYAMA<\/em><\/a><\/h5>\n

Also in Maldives we find Niyama Resort<\/a> with Vodi break<\/a> out the front & access to many other surf spots with no other resorts around. The resort is spread over 2 islands with many dining venues to choose from, luxury overwater villas and personal butler service. One of the highlights is definitely the seaplane flight from Male to Daalu Atoll<\/a>, oh and the underwater resturant and bar.<\/p>\n
