Nobody But You
Privacy Please
Your thought the Maldives photos were over already? Well, actually so did I. But when I realised that I had taken even more photos during a special little excursion trip that we made over there that I hadn’t shared with you yer, I thought I can’t just skip over these. And this is not just any excursion. It’s one to the private Four Seasons island that just opened to bookings. So from now on you can actually book your own private island. Yep, you read that correctly. So that means an island, to nobody else but you. I still can’t believe that we got to experience this…
Perhaps you remember that I said that some experiences from our time in the Maldives are almost too difficult to take in while there because you’re in constant aw of everything around you? Well, this is exactly how I feel about this once-in-a-lifetime-crazy-bananas-experience.
I’m not sure that the photos will ever be able to make this place justice but I decided to give it a shot anyway as I wanted to share this special trip with you all. It’s a place and a day I will never forget and a place I will try to think of whenever I dream of paradise…
The name of this beautiful and completely unreal place is Four Seasons Voavah (and you can find more information here if you’re interested). The (private) island is located about 10 minutes by boat from where we stayed at Landaa Giraavaru – so perfect location if you feel a bit lonely after a while and would like to hang around mortals for a few minutes or try something else for dinner. But I personally don’t see any reason to leave this beautiful place once you’ve arrived. Best things about it, you can bring whoever you’d like with you! If you have a bank account that allows this of course… Just a little side note
Peace & Quiet
If you by any chance don’t feel like this environment is relaxing enough, you can of course have access to your very own SPA on the island as well. Lay down, put your head through the hole and look at fish swimming by below you and feel the warm ocean breeze on your back. Gosh, just talking about this…
All To Yourself
When we arrived to the private island, lunch, champagne and the loveliest staff were all waiting for us. I don’t think the champagne was helping much when it came to being able to properly understand what was going on. It was already all too surreal to take in! The staff was the absolute sweetest and made us try different dishes they were planning to put on the menu once the island was open to receiving their first guests.
Ok, so what do you actually get when living on this dream island? Well, you can choose between sleeping in a three-bedroom villa on the beach, in one of the two mezzanine suites or if you prefer, in the two-bedroom water villa (of course there are additional rooms for kids and staff as well – do you even have to ask?). You also have your beach house with a lounging room, library, kitchen, pool deck, dining room, gym and pool table. I’m not done yet. You also have your own SPA as I mentioned before, you’re own motorised beach toys as well as access to your private luxury yacht. As if this wasn’t enough, you of course have your own beach wherever you look and crystal clear waters surrounding your whole island. You’re by yourself in the middle of what can only be described as paradise. I think I found the place where I want to get married (and have a massive party)
I’ve said this before but it doesn’t hurt to repeat myself in this case: I’ve never seen anything like this. Never. And I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to see anything like this in the future either for that matter. Looking back at these photos I can’t even believe that I had the opportunity to walk along these beaches, have lunch while looking out over this incredible space or swim in these waters. I will never take moments like this for granted and I will never forget the incredible and absolutely magical time I had the opportunity to spend in this beautiful part of the world. If you ever get the chance to go, go.
