Vivanta by Taj at Coral Reef, Maldives

Found on Hembadhu Island in the Maldives, Vivanta attempts to offer tourists the standard, high-class Maldivian tropical experience, with extra sophisticated modern comforts.

All accommodations, be they beach villas or water villas, offer stunning ocean views. Outdoor showers provide a relaxing private shower experience, while suite guests have access to their own private butler.

Eating at Vivanta is a special occasion, and be prepared for a lot of exotic flavours, with its main restaurant offering Pan-Asian fare, while its grill restaurant offering tandoor and teppanyakki style grilled meats. Its Reef Bar looks particularly glamourous, offering a range of cocktails and beverages, specialising in Tequila shots, which are preceded by a selection of six salts from around the world.

The sheer range of activities offered by Vivanta is astounding. As well as the usual diving (perhaps to their very own shipwreck), snorkelling, tennis, volleyball and other options, there are some real standout excursions - for example night fishing, sea plane photo flights, and a submarine experience.

For your health and relaxation needs, Vivanta is also well catered for. The Jiva Spa provides quality treatments and techniques, while there is a health centre and gym to ensure fitness standards do not drop, even on holiday!
