Balinese escape

Combining Balinese culture with natural beauty, this modern resort was made for relaxing getaways

Just steps from the sugary sands and turquoise waters of Nusa Dua’s palm-fringed coastline, Merusaka’s location is picture perfect. When you’re not soaking up stunning vistas from your stylish suite, you can lounge poolside with a cocktail in hand, savour local flavours in beachside joints and indulge in tension-releasing treatments in the spa. The hotel ticks the family-friendly box too, with a kid’s club offering endless activities for when you fancy some ‘us’ time.

The atoll seen from the air on the way in

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.”

Jeremy FisherKuoni Travel Expert

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.”
