The Maldives: Exclusive Luxury

Lately, I’ve been having a fixation with Southeast Asia, with dreams of being some place where nobody knows your name.

When I think of The Maldives I think of exclusive elegance, class and the beach. I think of going someplace where probably nobody else in your circle has been to.  And if that’s the case, your being there means it’s time to find a new circle!

But that was what I wanted because if I don’t walk inside another museum until next year I’ll be fine.  I sort of created my own dream package one summer–with a trip to someplace I never been, bought a few books I’ll never forget, and booked a new therapist (I need a little reality check every now and again).  

I’ve never seen prettier beaches, not even in Greece, or such unadulterated beauty and luxury.  This is not a dream or a fantasy.  Not much to do, but lounge, swim, and doing nothing is your “some thing”.  

But I met great people, was invited to a dignitary’s home to have dinner with him, a local artist, and an oil family from Texas.  I visited their ranch last summer.

It is exploring the world as your own playground whether you go alone, with a beau, or with the family.  I had a friend who saved her unemployment checks to go The Maldives.  I never heard from her again.  And she’s not dead.

A little more about The Maldives here.

You don’t want to go between Feb-April when the resorts are full.
