Press Pause On The Real World With ‘Island Time’
At Olhuveli And Vilu Reef In The Maldives
Those wishing to put the trials of modern life on ice this summer should escape to Olhuveli Beach & Spa Resort or Vilu Reef Beach & Spa Resort in the sparkling Maldivian archipelago. These island retreats have their very own time zone, an hour ahead of the capital Malé. Locals call this extra hour of daylight ‘island time’, as it provides guests with more opportunity to enjoy the day sunbathing, swimming and snorkelling, and promises lighter evenings for sunset cocktails.
With the perspective firmly on you-time, guests can forget about work and deadlines, and enjoy languishing in the longer days ‘island time’ offers. Whether a leisurely lie-in under crisp cotton sheets in one of Vilu Reef’s luxury water villas is the order of the day, or an early morning swim across Olhuveli’s crystal clear lagoon is the ideal way to wake up, there is time to do either before breakfast. Island time provides the perfect sunshine alarm clock!
Enshrined in magic and legend, the Maldives is a natural marvel of deep-blue seas and beautiful beaches, with an adventurous history harking back to trade-route explorers, when seashells were once the currency. This dreamy paradise offers the essence of idyllic living, thousands of miles from the caffeine-hungry, 24/7 world of real life.
Located in South Malé Atoll, Olhuveli offers stunning beaches, abundant sandbanks and facilities and activities to suit every visitor - from couples wanting to reconnect, to families needing respite and relaxation. While Vilu Reef, situated in the remote South Nilandhe Atoll, is surrounded by lush green vegetation, tall coconut palms and a beautiful beach of sugar-white sand, providing the ultimate ‘Robinson Crusoe’ escape. It’s also a great place to avoid the busy UK during the Olympics!
Both resorts boast a selection of restaurants and bars, large pools, an excellent watersports centre, five-star PADI dive centre and a Sun Spa, enabling guests to leave their troubles at home and fully embrace the ethos of island life.
