Blue Waters Resort & Spa
Authentic Caribbean charm
Set amid stunning gardens, this intimate resort offers impeccable service and exquisite clifftop suites.
This beautiful hotel blends modern chic and classic-colonial style, with fresh white décor and warm wood. Stroll along powder-soft sands to secluded coves and wade into calm waters for swimming and watersports. Relax on a plush sun lounger on the beach deck or by one of the stunning infinity pools that merge with the turquoise sea beyond. Explore gardens draped with bougainvillaea and hibiscus and spot hummingbirds. The hotel has a significant focus on environmental responsibility too – it’s making great strides in banning all single-use plastics and is the first hotel in Antigua to launch a refillable water bottle scheme.

An incredible way to kick off your Maldives holiday
“There's something pretty special about travelling by seaplane. The view from the sky is extraordinary - tiny specs of island and shades of blue that barely look real.”


The iconic, mile-long sandbank
Perfect for isolated sunbathing, dramatic photoshoots, and watching breathtaking Maldivian sunsets.

Snorkelling and diving isn't the only way to catch sight of the underwater world
“If snorkelling and diving isn't for you, it's possible to catch a glimpse of the reef from a glass-bottomed boat instead.”

Hand Crafted Guided Tour of Antigua
The adventure begins with a drive through the diverse vegetation of the Antigua Rainforest to get to your first stop, Nelson's Dockyard National Park. This historic landmark was developed as a British Navy base in the late 18th Century but gradually became abandoned in the 19th Century before completely closing in 1889. Today, Nelson's Dockyard has been rejuvenated and labelled as a World Heritage Site and has a unique combination of rich heritage and beautiful surroundings. Moving on from the dockyard, you'll head up to Shirley Heights to admire the iconic views overlooking the English Harbour which stretch as far as Montserrat, and Guadeloupe. Back in the day, this lookout was a hugely important signal station to alert the entire island of any approaches to the harbour. Today, however, it’s a spot that people flock to for postcard-worthy pictures. • Year-round departures • Departs daily • Duration: 4 to 6 hours

Antiguan Cooking Class
Trying not to get too distracted by the breathtaking views out over the shimmering sea, you’ll learn how to create gastronomic masterpieces with locally farmed produce and herbs along with a special blend of spices, highlighting their health values, to create an extraordinary meal. You’ll prepare a two-course lunch, before sitting down to enjoy your culinary creations and your own, personally made rum punch. It’s a delightful way to spend a morning that will particularly appeal to honeymooners, couples and groups of friends. • Duration: half day • Daily departures • Operates year-round • Group experience Good to know — The class operates with between six to 12 participants.

Frequently asked questions
Questions? Sorted.
Do I need a visa to visit the Maldives?
British passport holders are issued a free 30-day visitor visa on arrival. You'll need a passport valid for the duration of your stay, a confirmed onward ticket and proof of your accommodation booking.
When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
November to April is the dry season, with the most reliable sunshine and calmest seas. May to October brings shorter rain showers, lower prices and better surf.
What currency is used in the Maldives, and do I need cash?
The local currency is the Maldivian rufiyaa, but resorts price and bill in US dollars and take major cards. Most guests never need cash — a small amount is handy for tipping.
Is the Maldives good for honeymoons outside peak season?
Yes. Off-peak brings noticeably lower rates and quieter islands, and rain tends to come in short bursts rather than all day. Many resorts add honeymoon extras during these months.
What activities are there for older kids and teens in the Maldives?
Most resorts run watersports centres with windsurfing, kayaking and paddleboarding, plus PADI dive courses from around age ten. Snorkelling safaris, sandbank trips and night fishing all suit older children.
