In fact, you may have even had some amazing spa experiences as well. But I’m going to bet you’ve never had a spa experience with endless views across the Indian Ocean, while reef sharks, stingrays and exotic fish swim at your feet. If you're interested in a vacation in the Maldives, then I’m sure you’ve probably had a few massages in your lifetime. So don’t worry, we tested the waters for you, we tried the villas and we swam with the turtles all so you could get an inside look. Yet somehow the Conrad Maldives seems to do just that. ![]() Standing out as an iconic hotel, in a destination surrounded by over the top properties, all promising that same tropical getaway, is no easy feat. ![]() We really will be living inside a screensaver for the next week. Welcomed with cold towels and friendly smiles, it all sinks in. Our plane gently glides to the long walkway, where a group of team members from the Conrad are waiting for us. Neat rows of over-water villas line the shore, the palm trees seem to sway in perfect sycnhronization and the beaches have the whitest sand I’ve ever seen. This already feels like paradise and we haven’t even touched ground. Our plane gradually begins to dip and two small islands start to come into view. How can this all be real, I silently ask myself - although based on the faces from the other passengers, I’m pretty sure we’re all thinking the same thing. The waters are that perfect shade of teal blue and as we fly over the atolls the small islands looks like an array of rings made from skipping rocks. Flying over the Indian Ocean in the Maldives all you see is water so clear you’re trying to figure out if you’re looking at masses of coral or large whale sharks swimming below. ![]() Looking out the window of this small seaplane, that myself and 6 other people are on, I have officially become convinced that we are in the beginning stages of playing out that deserted island tropical fantasy that only seems to live on a screensaver.
