• Male

Taj Exotica is a stunning resort is situated in the middle of one of the largest lagoons in the Maldives. Sandy beaches frame the island and the crystal clear waters of the lagoon stretch as far as the eye can see. The elaborate spa, varied cuisine and choice of water sports (including diving) make the resort a perfect place to unwind. The stylish Beach Villas open onto the beach and some have their own plunge pool. The overwater suites are built around an unusual leaf shape. Each has its own deck with steps down into the lagoon and plenty of space for fairly private sunbathing. The resort is very good for both couples and families and is a short speedboat transfer from the airport.

I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything.
